capitalnewyork:Afterlife of a diva: Renata Scotto on aging, talent, tradition and why she quit | by Zachary Woolfe | Capital New YorkIn Renata Scotto’s house there is no piano. A decade after retiring, following a career that lasted over 50 years and was one of the greatest in twentieth-century opera, Scotto never sings, not even in the shower. She keeps a single photograph in the house of herself in costume (as an imperious Lady Macbeth at the Met), and she hangs it under the staircase. With few exceptions, her friends aren’t fellow singers or musicians. This is how she wants it.“You can ask a thousand people about the kind of person I am,” she said last week over espresso and cookies in her living room in Westchester, leaning back on her couch and laughing as she drew out the “thousand” in the thick Italian accent that’s stayed with her through decades of living in the United States. “I would never have a moment where I said, ‘Ohh, I can’t sing anymore, it’s too bad because I can do it better than so-and-so.’ I’m happy the way I am, and so interested in so many things. I’ve never had a piano in my house. I’ve always kept it separate.”
