She performed at the Teatro Filarmonico of Verona as Amelia in Verdi's Simon Boccanegra in 1979, alongside Renato Bruson in the title role, directed by Filippo Crivelli [it] and conducted by Roberto Abbado.[1]

Rinaldi appeared at La Scala as Gilda in Verdi's Rigoletto, Nannetta in Falstaff,[4] in 1966 as Giulietta in Bellini's I Capuleti e i Montecchi, alongside Giacomo Aragall and Luciano Pavarotti, when Claudio Abbado conducted a new critical edition, and as Linda in a revival of Linda di Chamounix in 1972, alongside Alfredo Kraus.[3] She sang at most of the major opera houses in Italy, in roles such as Amina in Bellini's La sonnambula, Donizetti's Adina in L'elisir d'amore and Norina in Don Pasquale, and Verdi's Gilda. She also excelled in operas by Mozart and by Cimarosa.[4]

She sang a wide variety of roles for RAI between 1963 and 1975, such as Bertha in Meyerbeer's Le Prophète, Handel's Cleopatra in Giulio Cesare and Ginevra in Ariodante, and Noraime in Cherubini's Les Abencérages.[3] She recorded Verdi's La traviata with Pavarotti in Dublin in 1964.[4]

In 1977 she had a triumph singing Amenaide in Rossini's Tancredi alongside Marilyn Horne at Teatro dell'Opera di Roma. Reviewers noted then the limpid quality and agility of her voice, and her stylistic security.[2] Angelo Sguerzi wrote for Stirpi canore about her "homogeneity of timbre, equality of registers, smooth and clear extension up to E-flat on the top, gentle, demure phrasing, without melodramaticism of dubious taste".[2]

In 1978, Rinaldi appeared as Adalgisa in a production of Bellini's Norma at the Teatro Comunale in Florence. Conducted by Riccardo Muti and starring Renata Scotto in the title role, she performed the role in the original soprano register.[3]
