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. 

Colin joined the Company in 2003 to play the grumpy Harrison Howell in 'Kiss Me Kate,' playing opposite a certain Elizabeth Ross. Such was the chemistry that he married the star and stayed with Belfast Operatic ever since. He joined the committee a few years ago and has now agreed to take the reins as Chairman. He remains grumpy but happy!

Hall is an enthusiastic member of Belfast Operatic Company, having served on the committee for a few years. He recently semi-retired and (in between travels) continues to work and play hard with the Company.

Gary is a graphic designer by day with a strong interest in theatre by night. He has been a member of Belfast Operatic Company for numerous years, and took on the role of Secretary of the company in 2015 - it is through Belfast Operatic that he has had experience working most on stage, having been in shows such as ‘Beauty And The Beast’, ‘Hello, Dolly!’, ‘Calamity Jane’, ‘Titanic The Musical’, ‘Rodgers & Hammersteins Cinderella’ and ‘A Christmas Carol’ all at the stunning theatre that is the Grand Opera House. Most recently he has taken on various 'behind the scenes' roles, including Stage Management (RENT), and Directing (The Last Five Years).

A Life Member of the Company, Elizabeth joined as a babe in arms in 1983 (ahem!).  She quickly worked her way up from chorus girl and enjoyed playing many principal roles in the Grand Opera House and beyond. Offstage, she has often served on the main committee, even chairing it for a year.  For the last few years she has concentrated on the marketing side of things and also brushed up on her arithmetic for the rigorous role of Treasurer.   She hopes to successfully follow the trail blazed by the previous Treasurers and keep a firm hand on the controls of the Company's finances!
