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.

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.

CVH Podcast — Episode 306.

A fellow gym-goer may or may not have intentionally squatted directly over my face… and somehow this episode also became a conversation about the collective effort behind making an album real.

Chaos, gratitude, gym trauma, and the power of people showing up.

The latest CVH Podcast is…hysterical, to put it mildly 😂🎙️

I’m joined by the phenomenal mezzo-soprano Karen Cargill—my Bluebeard co-star—and let’s just say we had a lot of fun along the way. Music, mayhem, and plenty of laughs.

We’re performing with the Canadian Opera Company in their stunning Bluebeard production by Robert Lepage, conducted by Johannes Debus—opening April 25 at the Four Seasons Performing Arts Center.

Tune in, have a laugh, and come see the drama unfold live!

FIRST WEEK OF BLUEBEARD AND THE IMPOSSIBLE FALL SCHEDULE.  

Back in Bluebeard’s world this week…

Returning to that dark, psychological landscape where every door feels heavier than the last — and somehow it always reveals something new.

Also diving into Chicago Lyric Opera’s newly announced season 👀

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 🌱

Final rehearsal before opening night.
Moments like this bring perspective—standing in front of an orchestra, doing what I love, aware that every time could be the last. Grateful for the music, the musicians, and the chance to sing it again.

300 episodes.

On this milestone episode of the CVH Podcast, I’m joined by the brilliant Etienne DuPuis and special #EveryWorder guest Aaron Arroyo.

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.
