Welcome

Doreen Lutz Artists is managing and supporting a select group of internationally renowned artists, building upon many years of experience in artist management.

Each artist has an outstanding profile and is an expert in music from the 20th/21st century and to some extent also in early music. Their curiosity for new works and performances leads to improvisation with jazz elements, innovative projects and programmes, and new compositions being commissioned.

Doreen Lutz Artists focuses on providing tailor-made and strategic support to artists with their individual profiles and the personal exchange with promoting partners.

Please get in touch with us if you are interested in any of the artists we represent. We look forward to hearing from you!

Sarah Defrise: Debut Opernhaus Zurich
On 8 March 2026, the soprano Sarah Defrise will make her debut at the Opernhaus Zurich in the Swiss premiere of Olga Neuwirth’s & Elfriede Jelinek‘s latest opera Monster's Paradise, which just has received its critical acclaimed world premiere at the Hamburgische Staatsoper. Further performances will be presented on 14/18 March 2026 and on 10/12 April 2026. Titus Engel will lead the Orchester der Oper Zürich in the staging by Tobias Kratzer, and the set and costume is designed by Rainer Sellmaier. Sarah’s colleagues on stage are Anna Clementi (Gorgonzilla), Georg Nigl/Robin Adams (King/President), Eric Jurenas (Tuckey), Sylvie Rohrer (Vampi-actress), Ruth Rosenfeld (Bampi-actress), Kristina Stanek (Bampi) and Andrew Watts (Mickey). As avatars of themselves, composer Olga Neuwirth and author Elfriede Jelinek send two “vampiresses” on a journey around the world. They observe the decline of humanity while a tyrannical king and a sea monster he has conjured up himself fight for power. All hope rests on him: the great Gorgonzilla. But what kind of world is it that can only be saved by monsters?
