Ingrid Sutej

Ingrid Sutej is the CEO of Temple Live Entertainment, which is part of the Eventim Live network. She has three decades of experience in live event production and 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.

Ingrid produced and co-produced the highly successful production of Elf The Musical and co-produced White Christmas, both at the Dominion Theatre in London’s West End.

In 2015/2016, she produced a groundbreaking tour of five major European opera houses for a season of Salzburg Festival’s production of Norma starring Cecilia Bartoli.

Having left her position as CEO of U-Live at the beginning of 2016, Ingrid co-produced the tour of Rent the Musical UK and produced, with Björn Ulvaeus of ABBA, the smash hit immersive musical Mamma Mia! The Party, in London and Stockholm.

Ingrid is currently touring immersive exhibitions in Scandinavia, including Monet’s Garden, alongside other titles and immersive shows.

She still promotes concerts across the globe with the world’s top opera singers, including Cecilia Bartoli, Angela Gheorghiu, Anna Netrebko, and Rolando Villazon.

Prior to producing musicals, Ingrid’s association with AEG began as director of content development, creating original shows for The O2 in London during the first five years of the venue’s operation.

Shows at The O2 included Ben Hur Live, Star Wars Live and The Star Wars Exhibition; Romeo and Juliet in partnership with The Royal Ballet and Bizet’s Carmen, both of 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 Miserables in Concert: The 25th Anniversary at The O2. Ingrid further initiated the O2 Arena version of Jesus Christ Superstar in 2012 (on behalf of AEG) and, as co-producer, brought Robert Redford’s Sundance Festival to the venue.
