In 1971 he was appointed as the first director of production at Glyndebourne, to oversee existing productions and create new ones.[4] During his tenure he worked with designers including David Hockney, Sir Hugh Casson, Michael Annals and William Dudley.[2] The critic Rodney Milnes singles out for mention Cox's Glyndbourne productions of Richard Strauss operas: Ariadne auf Naxos (1971), Capriccio (1973), Intermezzo (1974), Die schweigsame Frau (1977), Der Rosenkavalier (1980) and Arabella (1984).[3] Cox succeeded Peter Ebert as general administrator and artistic director of Scottish Opera in 1981, holding the post until 1986.[3] In 1988 he was appointed production director of the Royal Opera, Covent Garden.[5] As well as Strauss, Cox is particularly known for his Mozart and Rossini productions.[6] In 2000 he collaborated with John Stoddart to stage Capriccio at the Sydney Opera House during the 2000 Summer Olympics.[7] He has also worked widely in Europe and the USA. Milnes mentions in particular Daphne in Munich, Don Carlos in San Francisco, Un ballo in maschera in Sydney and Patience, one of the English National Opera's longest-running successes.[3] For the Metropolitan Opera, New York, Cox directed Capriccio in 2011.[8] He is the librettist and collaborator with the American composer Theodore Morrison of a new opera about Oscar Wilde, Oscar, which was given its world premiere at The Santa Fe Opera during the Summer 2013 season.[9] References1. ^{{cite book | last = Adam|first = Nicky (ed)| year = 1993| title= Who's Who in British Opera| pages=56–57 | publisher = Scolar Press| location = Aldershot| isbn = 0-859-67894-6}} 2. ^1 {{cite journal|last=Higgins|first=John|title=John Cox loosens his Glyndebourne ties|journal=The Times|date=26 May 1981|page=11}} 3. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|last=Milnes|first=Rodney|title=John Cox|url=http://www.oxfordmusiconline.com/subscriber/article/grove/music/O901142|work=Grove Music Online|publisher=Oxford University Press|accessdate=2 February 2013}} 4. ^{{cite news|last=Higgins|first=John|title=John Cox: Glyndebourne's man of the theatre|newspaper=The Times|date=20 April 1972|page=11}} 5. ^{{cite journal|last=Sutcliffe|first=Tom|title=Promised Garden|newspaper=The Guardian|date=1 June 1988|page=17}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.opera-australia.org.au/aboutus/our_artists/creative_teams/john_cox|title=John Cox|publisher=Opera Australia|accessdate=8 January 2013}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.operascotland.org/people/143|title=John Stoddart|publisher=Opera Scotland|accessdate=8 January 2013}} 8. ^{{cite journal|last=Dillon|first=Patrick|title=Opera in review: United States: New York|journal=Opera Canada|date=Fall 2011|pages=46–48}} 9. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/02/arts/music/oscar-at-santa-fe-opera-with-david-daniels-countertenor.html?_r=0 | title=When a Poet’s Life and the Law Are at Odds | work=The New York Times | author=James R Oestreich | date=1 August 2013| accessdate=2 August 2013}} External links
