Mr. Murphy made his debut at the Metropolitan at the age of 26, but resigned four years later to take up concert work. At about the same time he became one of the Victor recording artists. He once estimated that he had made 200 recordings.
In later years, Mr. Murphy taught voice at the Malkin Conservatory in Boston and also conducted classes weekly in New Haven and Springfield. During World War II, after the conservatory had closed, he conducted voice classes in Springfield and worked in a local war plant. Mr. Murphy also had been a soloist at the Brick Presbyterian Church in New York.
His singing and teaching were brought to an end when he underwent a serious throat operation in the early Forties.
Mr. Murphy married Jesse Stewart Rowe in 1921. Also surviving are two sisters, Mrs. Jesse Washburn and Miss Marion C. Murphy, both of this city and a brother, Ray Dickinson Murphy.
Lambert Murphy made his debut at the Metropolitan Opera on November 17, 1911, singing the roll of the sailor in "Tristan und Isolde". His other roles included Joe in "The Girl of the Golden West", Vogelgesang in "Die Meistersinger" and Froh in "Das Rheingold". He created the rolls of Caradoc in Horatio Parker's "Mona" and of "Montfleurry" and "Cadet" in Walter Damrosch's "Cyrano de Bergerac" and he was the Majordomo of Von Faninal in the first American performance of Strauss' "Der Rosenkavalier"
