 In 1912, Scotti's arrival in the United States with Pasquale Amato and William Hinshaw for his next Met season received extensive newspaper coverage.He performed at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, on a regular basis until 1910, with additional appearances in the 1913–1914 season.During this period, he became not only London's first Scarpia but also its first Sharpless in Puccini's "Madama Butterfly" (in 1900 and 1905 respectively), which he also introduced to the Met in 1907.
