Andrea Chénier
In 1915 he debuted at the Teatro alla Scala di Milano, in the role of Enzo Grimaldo, where he had a great success. In 1921 he returned to La Scala and sang the title roles in Puccini's "Il tabarro" and "Gianni Schicchi", and Catalani's La Wally. In 1924 he was invited to Covent Garden in London, where he first sang the role of Andrea Chénier of the opera of the same name by Umberto Giordano. After that Andrea Chénier became Marini's signature role. In 1929 he sang this role in the first complete recording of "Andrea Chénier" made together with Orchestra and Chorus of the Teatro alla Scala di Milano under the baton of maestro Lorenzo Molajoli (Naxos Historical 8.110066-67).
