His most important collaboration was with Astor Piazzolla, with whom he toured nationally and abroad as a member of his ensemble Octeto Electrónico, even performing at the Carnegie Hall. As a stage actor, Trelles got his first success starring in the 1979 musical Aggiungi un posto a tavola; he later played leading roles in numerous stage works, notably co-starring alongside Milva in a successful rendition of the Piazzolla-penned operetta María de Buenos Aires.
