empresario
Theater venture manager
An empresario is a person who organizes and promotes entertainment ventures, particularly in opera, theater, or concert performance.
The term carries connotations of showmanship and entrepreneurial flair, suggesting someone who takes financial risks to bring performances to audiences.
In American history, empresario also refers to land agents in Mexican Texas who contracted to bring settlers to colonize territory in exchange for land grants.
The empresario assembled an impressive roster of European singers for the opera season.
