French term or phrase: entrepreneurs de spectacle
Can anyone think of a neat translation for this term? I can only come up with "show organisers", which sounds a bit mundane, whereas I imagine it refers to the Andrew Lloyd Webbers of this world!

"Dans le domaine de l’édition littéraire et musicale, le code de propriété intellectuelle prévoit déjà que « l’éditeur est tenu d’assurer à l’œuvre une exploitation permanente et suivie et une diffusion commerciale. » Des dispositions similaires concernent les entrepreneurs de spectacle et les producteurs d’œuvres audiovisuelles.

Many thanks

entertainment promoter
Explanation:
Or at least according to the Legifrance translation of the CPI.
e.g.
Article L132-18
A performance contract is a contract under which the author of a work of the mind or his successors in title authorize a natural or legal person to perform such a work under the conditions they stipulate. A general performance contract means a contract under which a professional body of authors grants to an *entertainment promoter* the right to perform, for the duration of the contract, the existing or future works constituting the repertoire of such body under the conditions stipulated by the author or his successors in title.


For the other extract - Article L132-12 (same translation)

"The publisher shall be required to ensure continuous and sustained exploitation and commercial dissemination of the work in accordance with the practices of the trade."

Alternatively, the GDT calls them entertainers (syn. organisateurs de spectacles); 'Professionnel qui présente des spectacles au public'.
