“As a mother of three now, the stage is more relaxing than life.”
Living the Classical Life is excited to offer something completely different: our first non-classical guest. We filmed Tony Award-nominee Melissa Errico--a celebrated Broadway singer praised by The Wall Street Journal for her benchmark work in the music of Stephen Sondheim--in conversation with her father, Dr. Michael Errico, a surgeon and classically-trained pianist. Melissa performs the last song of the late French legend Michel Legrand, and Sondheim’s “Not While I’m Around” for our cameras, discusses the classical roots of her musical passions and the music she sings, her love of art, growing older within a demanding industry, being a mother and the balance of life.
