A long serving and enthusiastic member of the Company, Thompson (better known as Thompie) served the Committee for over 20 consecutive years as Company Treasurer, overseeing the income and expenditure of productions and the day to day running of Heron Road. In 2010 Thompie was popularly voted the new President of the Company and continues to play an extremely active part in the running of BOC.  Thompie also acts as the Company's AIMS representative, as well as completing many small but vital roles which ensure the smooth running of the premises. 

Participation in the Belfast Operatic Company has become something of a family business for the Robinsons – David followed in his mothers footsteps as a young man and joined the company, and now his own son Darren has become a member too! David's vast experience (currently almost 38 years of it!) has often been put to good use, and he has served as Chairman several times in the past....

Kerry is a relatively new member to the Company having joined us 6 years ago and has appeared as one of our principals in several shows including flying high above the Opera House Stage as Fruma Sarah in 'Fiddler on the Roof'' and more recently as a saucy French Duster in 'Beauty and the Beast' . Kerry's first year as Vice Chair was a very busy one as alongside her role of supporting our Chairman - David Robinson and deputising for him when necessary Kerry was also a vital link in the sale and purchase of our premises as well as the organisation of the fit out.

Despite being a relative newcomer to the Company, Ian McMaster has quickly established himself as an important member of the tenor section and featured soloist during the Company's concert schedule.  Having spent a season or two enjoying the atmosphere and energy of the Company, Ian decided the time had come to roll up his sleeves and get stuck into helping manage Belfast's most talented group of individuals.

Not only has she been singing for the Operatic for over 25 years, but Tina has also been Company secretary for eight years, and is responsible for all Company correspondence. While this would seem to be a limited role, most members will be aware that the role of Secretary goes far beyond this, and indeed is one of the busiest offices a Company member can hold. Our frequently filled email inboxes, loaded with announcements and reminders from Tina are testimony to this, and the large amount of hard work, effort and dedication she puts into her role.
