Melissa Errico is someone who appears to be in perpetual motion. The Tony Award-nominated Broadway star, cabaret singer, and actress moves seamlessly between television, film, theater, and concert stages across the globe.

Even during the height of the pandemic, Errico barely slowed down or wasted any time. Along with collaborator Adam Gopnik, she curated a series of film noir classics at New York’s French Institute Alliance Francaise (FIAF). “I was so deeply fascinated by the style of these films and their musical themes,” she says. That passion led the chanteuse (Errico) and lyricist (Gopnik) to stage three concerts that coupled music with conversation (which were also livestreamed from Florence Gould Hall in Manhattan in 2020).

On Wednesday, May 11, Melissa Errico will be appearing live at Feinstein’s/54 Below in Manhattan, celebrating the release of her new album of noir songs, Out of the Dark, melodies tinged with sensuality and mystery.

Forbes.com was delighted to snag some time with this legendary performer to talk about the confluence of her work and her travels.

With engagements all over the world, how much travel do you typically do each year? How has that been affected by the pandemic?

Melissa Errico: Nothing is really typical anymore. Before the pandemic, my international concert career had really begun to take off. I was traveling to London twice a year for 3- to 5-night singing engagements and was performing in Paris two to three times a year. In fact, I was scheduled to make a major concert debut in Paris in June 2020—which has yet to be rescheduled.

Last month, I went to London and was the first artist in the “Americans in London” series at the beautiful Crazy Coqs nightclub (where Lilias White and Billy Stritch are currently performing). I had been there a few times before, singing Sondheim (one of my musical obsessions) and releasing my album “Sondheim Sublime” there.
