Ingrid Sutej

Founder and CEO

In three decades of experience of live event production, Ingrid Sutej has produced and promoted hit musicals in London and Europe, as well as concerts and tours by most of the top operatic stars and musicians of our generation. In London’s West End, Ingrid co-produced – during her tenure as CEO of U-Live – the highly successful productions of White Christmas in 2014 and Elf the Musical in 2015, both at the Dominion Theatre. Following this, in 2015/2016, Ingrid produced a ground-breaking tour to five major European opera houses of a season of the Salzburg Festival’s production of Norma starring Cecilia Bartoli. Since leaving Universal at the beginning of 2016, Ingrid has coproduced with Robert Mackintosh Rent the Musical on tour in the UK, including a two-month run at The Other Palace in London, and produced, with Björn Ulvaeus of ABBA, Mamma Mia! The Party both in London and Stockholm. She promotes concerts around Europe and the world with the world’s top opera singers, including Cecilia Bartoli, Angela Gheorghiu, Anna Netrebko and Rolando Villazón, among others. Prior to producing musicals, Ingrid’s association with AEG began as Director of Content Development for London’s The O2, where she created original shows for the venue’s first five years. She commissioned for the Arena: Ben Hur Live, Star Wars Live (and The Star Wars Exhibition), Romeo and Juliet in partnership with The Royal Ballet and Bizet’s Carmen, which were performed in the round, and on the end stage The Nutcracker with the Birmingham Royal Ballet, and a theatrical production of Carmina Burana. At Ingrid’s invitation, Cameron Mackintosh staged Les Misérables in Concert: The 25th Anniversary at The O2. Ingrid further initiated, on behalf of AEG, The O2 Arena version of Jesus Christ Superstar of 2012 and brought Robert Redford’s Sundance Festival to London as co-producer for The O2.
