After additional study he turned to the opera making his debut in 1903 at the Teatro Carignano of Turin as Duke in ‘’Rigoletto’’. His star role was Arturo in Bellini’s ‘’I Puritani’’ which he sang in 1908 at the Teatro Real in Madrid as a partner of Graziella Pareto. He also appeared at the Conservatory of St. Petersburg, at the opera theatres of Cairo, Brussels and Warsaw.
