Now she has a chance to test them: next month, in a revived production of Butterfly, Scotto will become the first diva ever to direct herself at the Met. "I'm really looking forward to seeing the role from another perspective," she admits. There is a disadvantage to wearing two hats, of course. "I'm used to relaxing in the dressing room when I'm not in rehearsals, or during the show," she says...
