Tenor Malcolm Williams was engaged by the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company in June 1973, going on that month for Ralph Mason as Ralph Rackstraw in H.M.S. Pinafore and Marco in The Gondoliers.

During his brief stay with the Company, he appeared in the D'Oyly Carte's 1973 ATV film of H.M.S. Pinafore as Ralph, and recorded Tolloller in the Company's 1974 LP set of Iolanthe. He left the Company at the end of his first full season in August 1974.

Williams also appeared for a time with Welsh National Opera, Glyndebourne Touring Opera (1969 and 1971), and the London Opera Players.
