Murray Dickie

Murray Dickie OBE (3 April 1924 – 19 June 1995)[1] was a Scottish tenor opera singer and director, who established his career in England, Austria and Italy during the 1950s.

He made debuts in 1950 in Barcelona and in 1951 in Rome, and at the Vienna State Opera, where he was immediately engaged as a permanent member of the company.

As his career in Vienna got under way in 1952 he repeated the roles of David and Pedrillo, and also performed Jacquino, with great success.

He took part in the 1952 Paris Festival of Twentieth Century Music, and sang as a guest at Munich (1952 and 1953) with the Bavarian State Opera.

Also in that year he sang at Berlin, and took part in the French premiere of Die Liebe der Danae at the Paris Opéra.

Murray Dickie was married to the singer Maureen Springer, also a member of the Vienna company and who often joined her husband in concert.
