Alfred Schulz-Curtius

[1] In 1876,[2][3] he founded the eponymous Alfred Schulz-Curtius music and artists management agency in the West End of London at 44 Regent Street, Piccadilly Circus.

[2][4][5][6] In 1882, he arranged the first British staging of the epic Ring Cycle, conducted by Anton Seidl and directed by Angelo Neumann.

The conductors with whom Schulz-Curtius worked include Hermann Levi,[7][9] Felix Mottl,[7][8] Percy Pitt,[10] Hans Richter,[7][14][15] and Henry Joseph Wood.

[8][9][10] Others among the many artists whom he represented include pianist Ferruccio Busoni,[16] violinist Jan Kubelík,[17] soprano Dame Nellie Melba,[17] and cellist Guilhermina Suggia.

In 1956, Sir Ian Hunter joined the agency and, in 1969,[23] by which time Harolt Holt Ltd was owned by Ibbs and Tillett, purchased it.
