He was of the best known Italian Verdi baritones of the 1910’s and 1920’s. He made his debut in 1894 at the
Teatro Balbo of Turin
as Enrico in ‘’Lucia di Lammermoor’’. In 1899 Albinolo appeared at the Teatro
San Carlo in Napoli as Conte in ‘’Trovatore’’
and, together with his friend, the famous tenor Francesco Tamagno in ‘’Poliuto’’
of Donizetti. He also counted as a big interpreter of the baritone parts in the
operas of Italian Verismo school. Thus he sang in 1902 at the Teatro Vittorio
Emanuele of Turin
in ‘’ A Basso Porto’’ of Spinelli appearing in the role of Cicillo. In this theater
he was often to be found; he also performed in several opera premieres (‘’Il Battista’’ of Giocondo Fino (1906),
‘’Margherita d'Orleans’’ of A. Restano (1897), ‘’Suprema Via’’ of Radeglia (1902), ‘’Dolorosa’’ of E.
Sanchez (1911). Albinolo retired from
the stage approximately in 1923.
