Live, outdoor cabaret this summer is something to celebrate. That the peerless Melissa Errico is bringing her crystal-clear voice, sophisticated repertoire and engaging stage presence back to Provincetown is nothing short of a gift.

Errico endeared herself to Provincetown audiences with concerts the Art House in 2018 and ’19 when she performed her acclaimed recording “Sondheim Sublime.” This time, she’s at the Crown and Anchor’s waterfront cabaret August 4 and 5 with “Amour & After,” a selection of French songs inspired by her collaboration with multi-Oscar-winning film-jazz-pop composer Michel Legrand, who died in January of 2019. Errico will sing classic Legrand songs from her CD “Legrand Affair” as well as the music of Charles Trenet, Cole Porter in Paris and even Sondheim painting in Seurat’s Sunday Park. 

Errico has two other Massachusetts shows: She’ll perform at the Cotuit Center for the Arts August 6 and outdoors at the Maynard Public Library in Maynard on August 7.

She’s thrilled at the prospect of returning to live shows, especially in Provincetown. “I love being in Provincetown. The sea air, the unique vibe of openness to all kinds, the shops and even the omelets. I even get to go barking my own show up and down the streets, like a busker-girl from the 19th century!” says Errico.
