| TWO COMPANIES | 19 sept. 2026 | 00:18:58 | |
EPISODE 317 🎙️ San Francisco. Chicago. Back again. This week: the San Francisco Opera orchestra strike, getting into Don Giovanni in Chicago, and the reality of traveling between two cities while trying to give both shows everything. Plus an update on the album—and a personal ask. If you’ve been following this whole journey with me, I’d love for you to own a piece of it. Signed copies of my debut solo album are available to preorder at christianvanhorn.com New CVH Podcast out now. I love you for listening. | |||
| OPENING NIGHT?? | 05 sept. 2026 | 00:25:23 | |
Episode 316 🎙️ The next few weeks are shaping up to be completely insane as I commute back and forth between Chicago and San Francisco. I’m talking through the chaos, the possibility that opening night of Simon Boccanegra hangs in the balance amid contract negotiations with the orchestra, and all things CVH—including the self-titled debut album. A lot is up in the air. Let’s get into it. | |||

| BEN BLISS | 31 juil. 2026 | 01:19:21 | |
Most of us spend years learning how to sing... and almost no time learning how to build a career. For Podcast #314, tenor Ben Bliss came all the way to my home in Virginia to sit down and talk about both. Ben's new book, Making It Work: The Practical Guide to Financial and Entrepreneurial Literacy for Freelancers in the Performing Arts, tackles the side of this profession that rarely gets taught—money, contracts, business, long-term thinking, and how to make a life in the arts that's actually sustainable. We also talk about his own career, the realities of freelancing, and the lessons we both wish we'd known much earlier. If you're a singer, musician, actor, or anyone making a living as a freelancer, I think you'll get a lot from this conversation. Listen now wherever you get your podcasts. | |||
| WHY SINGERS CANCEL... | 19 juil. 2026 | 00:20:24 | |
Why do singers cancel? Episode 313 of the CVH Podcast is a conversation about something audiences rarely see: the importance of stepping away. Life on the road is a privilege, but staying healthy, recharging, and remembering why we do it all matters just as much as the performances themselves. I also share an update on the upcoming album and everything happening in CVH World. Listen wherever you get your podcasts, and join the mailing list at christianvanhorn.com for exclusive album updates, behind-the-scenes content, and music you won't find anywhere else. | |||
| THIS IS HOW THE CLASSICAL RECORDING INDUSTRY WORKS | 06 juil. 2026 | 00:25:55 | |
Episode 312 of THE CVH PODCAST The classical recording industry is broken. Streaming has transformed the way we listen to music—but for many classical artists, it has also made traditional recording projects financially unsustainable. In this episode, I explain where the money actually goes, why major label recordings often generate surprisingly little income for the artists themselves, and why so many singers simply stop recording altogether. I'm also making the case for a different future. Instead of waiting for permission from a record company, I chose to produce and release my own album independently. It's a massive risk, but it also gives artists something they've largely lost: ownership. Maybe the future of classical recording isn't fewer albums. Maybe it's more artists betting on themselves. I'd love to hear your thoughts after listening. | |||
| WHEN IT GETS QUIET | 21 juin 2026 | 00:19:19 | |
Episode 311 of the CVH Podcast is out now. When the curtain comes down and the applause fades, road life gets very quiet. The days are filled with rehearsals, performances, airports, hotels, and constant movement. Then suddenly there’s nothing but silence and another unfamiliar room. That's often when the mind starts wandering. Lately I've been having the same recurring dreams, the kind that seem to follow you from city to city. Maybe it's just the miles adding up. Maybe it's my subconscious counting down the days until this tour finally comes to an end. Life on the road can be extraordinary, but the quiet moments are where the real conversations happen. Episode 311: When It Gets Quiet is available now. | |||
| CHRISTOPHER MALTMAN | 13 juin 2026 | 01:30:28 | |
The great Christopher Maltman joins me for Episode #310 of the CVH Podcast. We discuss what happens when the entire world has seen your ass, the challenge of moving into Wagner repertoire later in a career, and a fascinating conversation about Don Giovanni that opera lovers won't want to miss. One of the smartest, funniest, and most thoughtful conversations I've had in a long time. Available now wherever you get your podcasts. #Opera #Wagner #DonGiovanni #ChristopherMaltman #CVHPodcast | |||
| FREDDIE DE TOMMASO | 06 juin 2026 | 01:15:25 | |
This week on the CVH Podcast, my guest is my brother, tenor Freddie De Tommaso. No subject is off limits. We talk about the sacrifices, pressures, victories, and absurdities that come with building a life on the operatic stage. From family and friendship to career, competition, and what it's really like when the spotlight goes off, this is one of the most honest conversations we've ever had. Heartfelt, hilarious, and packed with stories from a tenor who is rapidly taking over the world's great opera houses. Tune in and get an inside look at the life behind the voice. | |||
| FOOLISHLY JUMPING ON CARS | 31 mai 2026 | 00:15:46 | |
Episode 308 of the CVH Podcast is out now. This week: a reminder that sometimes the universe teaches the lesson twice. After spending weeks talking about being smart, staying healthy, and avoiding unnecessary injuries... I managed to hurt myself by jumping on a car during rehearsal. Brilliant. Also, album updates from the Lithuania sessions, where months of planning, thousands of miles of travel, and an incredible team came together to bring this project to life. A little self-inflicted stupidity, a lot of gratitude, and a look behind the scenes of what's next. Listen wherever you get your podcasts. | |||

| UNEXPECTED TIME HOME | 23 mars 2026 | 00:17:35 | |
Got sick. Had to cancel a recording session I was really looking forward to. Not gonna lie—it stung. But today slowed me down in a way I didn’t expect. Took care of things at home, got my hands dirty, and remembered there’s a kind of peace in a simpler rhythm. The recording session will be there tomorrow. For now… farmer mode 🌱 New CVH podcast episode out now. | |||

We celebrate the journey to 300 — but more importantly, we dig into what keeps this platform meaningful: the inspiration it gives to artists at the beginning of their path. The conversations, the honesty, the reality of the work. Authentic. Unfiltered. Real. And that’s why you keep coming back. | |||
