c# – Unity animation doesn’t play after transitioning to a new scene

I would like to play an animation before switching to a new scene, load the scene and then play another animation after that. The code I use for this task is as follows:

    IEnumerator PlayTransitionAndLoadSceneCoro(string sceneName) {
        transition.SetTrigger("Start");
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(transitionTime);

        AsyncOperation asyncSceneLoad = SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync(sceneName);
        while (!asyncSceneLoad.isDone)
            yield return null; // Block execution until the scene is loaded

        transition.SetTrigger("End");
    }

Both scenes use the same TransitionManager prefab, and my animator object is set up as follows:

But while the animation plays properly in the first scene, it doesn’t play on the new scene (that also has the TransitionManager prefab) as shown in the gif below.
