Trans-Siberian Orchestra: The Lost Christmas Eve
It's a deliberate extravaganza. Never have you felt "Jingle Bells" rumble in your chest so heavily or been mesmerized by "The Nutcracker Suite" so completely.

Why see Trans-Siberian Orchestra: The Lost Christmas Eve?
The Lost Christmas Eve Tour
The Trans-Siberian Orchestra is hitting the road once again in 2024, bringing their electrifying holiday rock opera to audiences across North America. To mark the 20th anniversary of their fourth studio album, The Lost Christmas Eve, the progressive metal group will perform 109 shows throughout November and December. Join them for a festive celebration that spans over two decades of Christmas magic! Along with The Lost Christmas Eve, fans can expect some of the band's greatest hits, making it clear why audiences keep coming back year after year.
As in usual TSO fashion, The Lost Christmas Eve tells a story through lasers, pyrotechnics and music, it follows a bitter old man, alone on Christmas Eve, wandering the streets of New York. Once full of promise, he chose wealth and isolation after the tragic death of his wife. His decision cost him his son, who he abandoned as a baby. But on this fateful night, a chance meeting with a mysterious girl changes everything. He learns his son is alive, now working as a caregiver for newborns. In a quiet reunion, the son's forgiving gaze melts years of regret. Together, they sit, comforting the innocent, beginning a new chapter of hope and redemption.
Who are TSO?
The rock band's concerts are arguably the most visually dazzling live event you're ever likely to see, featuring giant video screens, a pyrotechnics display that rivals many cities' New Year's celebrations, and more lasers than Star Wars. Composed of four original members, the group's touring lineup's ranks are swelled with entire string sections, and dozens of extra musicians and choirs.
As for the music, TSO takes the likes of Pink Floyd and Yes as their inspiration, adding in elements of classical music, heavy metal, and just about anything else that takes their fancy. You won't find many other bands switching from a lacerating guitar solo to the heavenly voices of a children's choir without a moment's notice. The Ghosts of Christmas Eve Tour is named after the band's 1999 holiday-themed\rock opera TV movie which they'll be playing live!

First-timer, Excellent show!
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed TSO. We had no expectations, so we were very surprised with the enormous scope of it all. Several moving stages, top of the line musicianship, fabulous light-and-laser show. My wife, who is not usually impressed with concerts, was spellbound. We're older folks and have seen quite a few concerts and shows. Frankly, even though I bought all the Mannheim Steamroller albums through the years, I was much happier when I left the TSO Christmas program. We'll be back next year. ... Read more

I think you have lost your mind if the trans Siberian orchestra experience turned you off.
Let's get something straight yes it is a rock show for Christmas. Put on by the members of Savatage a heavy metal band. So it may not tickle you fancy if it's not tame enough for you. Just don't go. Everyone one on here complaining starts with this was my 7th show or my 5th show. And all the sudden complain. Try something different but don't turn away fans. Because you weren't writing revues like this the first shows you went too. You were bragging to others to go!. Oh and by the way Christmas in seriavo is not a trans Siberian orchestra song. And and a few others played during there show aren't. There Savatage songs. Do your homework before going. And all the singers on that stage are excellent. I'm a musician and the guys and girls on that stage are some of the nicest and talented people you can ever meet. And they'll let you meet them after every show. So if it sucks tell them. stop hiding behind your computer. Putting down one of the biggest grossing concert in the world. ... Read more

TSO - So Much Talent, Technology and Beauty. Loved it!
Was totally enthralled with the talent, the visuals and the fantastic musical arrangements. Christmas never sounded or looked so good! Someone commented, "a little heavy on the religion." I don't know what that means, but Christmas...really? The two female lead vocalists were superb; different styles with equally strong impact. Guitarists and fiddle player were top tier and pivotal to the show. The piano player was great, totally focused with unbelievable energy and style. The other singers and dancers added a classy element in every appearance. We're going to make this show a tradition for the family every Christmas. "In the Hall of the Mountain King" was fantastic. Would be great to hear "Night on Bald Mountain." Well done, TSO. You are truly peerless in your art. ... Read more
