He made his debut in 1894 in Pistoia. In 1895 he appeared at the Teatro Nazionale in Catania in the premiere of the opera ‘’Mariedda’’ as Piero (composer Gianni Bucceri).
At the second performance of ‘’Lucia di Lammermoor", in which Signor Oddo, the new tenor appeared, Caruso decided to be present in order that he might see for himself what would happen.
And standing there, I was unwillingly compelled to see this young tenor (who had a very beautiful voice) led from the stage.
Pierre V. R. Key. Enrico Caruso
