In 1967, Scovotti joined the roster of the San Francisco Opera where she stayed for only one season. At the SFO she appeared as the Queen of the Night in The Magic Flute, Musetta in La bohème, and Miss Hampton in the U.S. premiere of Gunther Schuller's The Visitation in 1966.[7] Following her year in San Francisco, Scovotti moved to Germany and spent the next decade appearing in productions in Europe. She sang at many of the leading opera houses in Europe, including the Hamburg State Opera, Vienna State Opera, Royal Opera at Covent Garden, Teatro Colón, and La Scala. In 1977 she returned to the United States to sing the role of Ludmilla in Glinka's Ruslan and Ludmilla with Opera Boston.[8] Scovotti now teaches singing in Germany.
