His tenor career started at the Marseille opera theater, then he sang at La Monnaie in Brussels from 1956 to 1959: Hoffmann,

In 1959, he was hired by both the Paris Opéra and the Opéra-Comique; at the Opéra, he sang just one year
(Italienischer Sänger, Duca, Faust and Don José), whereas at the Opéra-Comique, he remained a house tenor
