Probably he made his
debut in 1905 as comprimario at the Teatro Costanzi, Roma in Mascagni’s
‘’Guglielmo Ratcliff’’. In Italy he always performed as comprimario and only in
the early 1920s, when he was a mamber of the San Carlo Opera Company, started
to sing in USA principal roles appearing in ‘’Otello’’, ‘’Martha’’, ‘’Madama
Butterfly’’, ‘’Faust’’ etc. Approximately in 1938, after his retirement, he
returned again to Italy
and followed his original occupation as a jeweller and watchmaker.
