Todd began his career in 1986 singing with the Western Opera Theater out of San Francisco. This took him across the entire United States as well as to China. He continued to work with the Merola Program and the San Francisco Opera main stage from 1986-88.

Todd was a frequent soloist in the Southeast with the York County Choral Society, Charlotte Symphony, Charlotte Oratorio Singers, South Carolina Philharmonic, Atlanta Choral Guild, and the Charleston Symphony. Further engagements included a tour of France, Spain, and Portugal singing the title role of Figaro in Il Barbiere di Siviglia with Teatro Lirico di Milano, one performance of which was later released on CD. Over the years numerous other engagement as a principle artist took him throughout the United States and Europe, performing with companies including Dallas Opera, Boston Lyric Opera, Central City Opera, Virginia Opera, Piedmont Opera Theater, Charleston Opera, Opera Carolina, Newberry Opera, and the North Carolina Symphony.
One of his latest great accomplishments was singing the role of Sharpless in Madama Butterfly on tour with the New York City Opera National Company.

At the time of his death, Todd was Vice-President and Manager of the Fritz and Lavinia Jensen Foundation for Young Professional Singers. Todd devoted tremendous time and energy to organize the Foundation's first voice competition in New York City. He was extremely excited about being able to help young singers like himself through many of the obstacles he also had encountered.

Along with several upcoming concerts, Todd was to have gone to Greece in the summer of 2000 to work with the great baritone Sherrill Milnes, his idol since the age of 18. Todd will be greatly missed by his peers. He was a great light in this world, and must never be forgotten.

Mrs. Lavinia Jensen, the founder of the Jensen Foundation, has decided for the First Prize of the annual competition to always be given in honor and memory of Lendon Todd Munday.
