Trans-Siberian Orchestra On Tour
The holidays rock a whole lot harder than they ever have thanks to Trans-Siberian Orchestra. By infusing seasonal classics with rock flamboyance, a symphonic sense of scope, and an eye-popping visual presentation complete with lasers and pyrotechnics, what began as a side project for a veteran group of American hard rockers has grown into one of today's top-selling acts, with over 10 million concert tickets sold since 1999.
Now, to celebrate the band's 20th year on the road, Trans-Siberian Orchestra is mounting an all-new production of the show that first turned them into an arena-rock phenomenon. First performed in 1999 and recorded for a TV special â which became just as much of a holiday staple as âThe Sound of Music' â âThe Ghosts of Christmas Eve' was conceived by Paul O'Neill, TSO's original mastermind. A veteran producer for acts like Aerosmith and Savatage, O'Neill was inspired by the rock operas of The Who and the grandly theatrical concerts of Pink Floyd to create something that was even more spectacular. Together with Savatage members Jon Oliva, Bob Kinkel, and Al Pitrelli, O'Neill developed a unique project that married the spirit of the season with all the exhilarating sounds, operatic grandeur, and visual bravura that fans had come to expect of rock gods. After the massive success of TSO's first two albums, âChristmas Eve and Other Stories' and âThe Christmas Attic,' O'Neill and his team took it on the road (and TV screens) with similarly blockbuster results.
Though TSO's repertoire would extend far beyond holiday songs to encompass the greats of classical music on âBeethoven's Last Night' and O'Neill's own original rock operas like âNight Castle,' their thrilling and highly singular take on seasonal music remains their trademark. Tragically, O'Neill's passing in 2017 robbed the music world of a true visionary. But his team of friends and collaborators in the Trans-Siberian Orchestra honor his legacy with a new production of âThe Ghosts of Christmas Past' that both preserves and revitalizes a landmark merger of music, theatrics, storytelling, and seasonal cheer that yielded an international phenomenon.
Really well done. Lights, lasers, sound quality all top notch.
TSO Show never disappoints! Had a great time with almost all my immediate family! Blessed and wonderful!!!
Awesome show and experience. Would definitely go again.
TSO was awesome as always! Stunning Visuals, Great Music, wonderful tradition. Our 1st experience at FISERV was NOT Awesome. Despite arriving 35 minutes before posted 3:00 showtime, the WAIT to get into FISERV due to UNDERSTAFFING of Security Checkpoints caused us, and MANY OTHERS to be LATE, even with show starting 20 mins after posted. We DID NOT get to buy any snacks or drinks, along with MANY OTHERS. That Means FISERV missed out on COUNTLESS Concessions sales. That's ok. We took our concessions dollars to a well deserving restaurant instead. WAKE UP FISERV!
Great Energy, fantastic musicians, amazing performance -
I bought tickets for my mom for Christmas and she loved it.
Great stage lighting effects and amazing band performance. Every song the band played was great.
I was expecting a cool experience but pleasantly surprised at the unbelievably well done performance. Every person in the production was extremely talented and I'm very glad I was able to attend.
Christmas would not be Christmas without a TSO concert. What a great show! Changes only get better. I saw Jimi Hendrix in concert when I was young. TSO compares very highly to Hendrix. Different, but leave with the same awe and amazement. TSO tells a wonderful story and all I have to do is sit back and watch. Thank you so much for coming to Columbus with your last shows. See you next yearđđđđđđđđ
The main show was short an the had to fill it with their fav from previous shows
As always an awesome show but this year was even better there was more to the show We have seen this 10yrs now and it seems every year it gets better and better! This is our Christmas tradition to see them. Everyone of the members make you feel that your important to their shows. Can't wait til this coming years show!!
Great show! Checked this one off my bucket list :)
Going to the TSO holiday concert has become a tradition for our family and this year beat our expectations! Chris and his crew delivered a new video experience and superb music and light show. It is well worth the money a time. You wonât be disappointed.
Totally amazing! Most talented performers ever! Will certainly attend again next year.
It was a great show. I just wish that when the performers were being introduced, their faces would show on the large screen so those of us sitting further back can see who they are.
This was our first time seeing Trans-Siberian Orchestra and they did not disappoint. The performance, the lights, the props⌠EVERYTHING about this show was ridiculously satisfying. If youâve never seen them⌠you need to!
While the show was great we couldnât see the whole thing because the lights hanging from the ceiling obstructed our Veiw thatâs why I gave 3 stars
First time seeing TSO and will not be the last!! Everything was phenomenal from the music to the performers to the light show, pyrotechnics even the opera singer in a snow globe!! An overall incredible theatrical musical performance!!
Everything about the show was fantastic! Phenomenal musicians, singers, stage show - all of it. I can't wait to see them again next year. TSO knows how to put on a show!
TSO never fails to amaze me with their talented musicians, vocalists and light show. I was so engaged watching them, that the 2 1/2 hour show flew by without realizing the time. No intermission was needed!! TSO is a yearly tradition for me now that I've seen them two years in a row. I'm never disappointed!!
