Scott also has studied Mozart’s Baritone roles of Count Almaviva, Guglielmo, Papageno and Don Alfonso. In concert, he has sung the Baritone solo in Fauré’s Requiem and Orff’s Carmina Burana. He has also been seen as Bob in The Old Maid and the Thief, Seneca in Coronation of Poppea. Palémon in Thaïs and also in La Bohème, Tosca, Dialogue of the Carmelites, Candide and The Mikado. Most recently Scott was a part of Long Beach Opera's Angels Vocal Art Opera Intensive Program in Los Angeles this Summer where he sang selections from Don Giovanni as Leporello, Susannah as Olin Blitch and The Merry Widow as Danilo and reprised his role of Dr. Grenvil in La Traviata.
