His debut was on September 9, 1937 as Radames. Due to the outbreak of World War II he was unable to develop an international career.

International appearances took him to La Scala, La Fenice, Prague, Moscow, Paris, Buenos Aires, etc. His appearances in the United States included Chicago, New York and San Francisco. While teaching at the Conservatory in Vienna between 1962 and 1964 he retired from singing in 1963. He gave his farewell tour in Bulgaria in 1968. Major roles in his career included Don Jose, Otello, Radames, Arnoldo, Canio, Manrico, Andrea Chenier, Turrido and Calaf.
