This week on The CVH Podcast, I talk about something we don't discuss nearly enough: the moment a singer realizes the professional career they worked so hard for may never become the career they hoped for.
Opera is a brutal business in one particular way. It takes years, sometimes decades, just to find out whether you're a viable commodity. And even then, being good enough and being able to make a living are two very different things.
There's pain in that realization. There's grief. There's also dignity in knowing when the pursuit has reached its limit.
I have enormous sympathy, respect, and pride for the people who have given so much of themselves to this profession, regardless of where they ended up.
I speak only from my own experience and what I've witnessed along the way. I'm not here to pick fights or tell anyone what their future holds. I'm here to listen, to offer encouragement where I can, and to be equally willing to acknowledge some difficult realities.
Inspiration matters. So does the truth.

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

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.
