Irish National Opera Remembering Henry Cox
It is with sadness that we share the news of the passing of Henry Cox, one of our most cherished INO Members.
Many of you may remember Henry from various INO events or will have seen him sitting in the front row of the auditorium, directly behind the conductor, wearing his signature beaming smile.
Henry was not only known for his humour, kindness and generosity, but also for his enthusiastic support of our young artists in the Studio programme. After moving to Ireland with his partner Michael to retire, they reached out and quickly became vital parts of our community. Henry's passion and advocacy for our work were inspiring and his absence will be deeply felt.
With Michael’s permission, we share Henry’s obituary in his own words, along with a prayer that touched him. He composed this obituary to allow family, friends and associates who may only have known fragments of his life to see the whole arc.
