Impresario, from the Italian impresa, an enterprise or undertaking,[1] is a traditional term still very much in use in the entertainment industry for a manager or producer of concerts, tours and other events in music, opera, theatre[2] and even rodeo.[3] It is sometimes misspelled ‘impressario.’
The term may be applied to others who take a leading role in orchestrating events,[4] such as curators of art museums, web producers or the organisers of academic or business conferences.
