Opera Theatre of Saint Louis has earned a reputation for artistic quality, sound fiscal management, and a commitment to education and professional development programs.  None of this would be possible without the tremendous support of a dedicated Board of Directors, Opera Guild, and National Patrons Council, all of which work closely with the artistic and administrative management team comprised of General Director Timothy O'Leary, Music Director Stephen Lord, and Artistic Director James Robinson.
