Trans-Siberian Orchestra will be performing the Lost Christmas Eve Tour at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas on December 4, 2024.
The holiday season has been forever transformed by the electrifying performances of Trans-Siberian Orchestra (TSO). What began as a side project has evolved into a global sensation, captivating audiences with its unique blend of rock, classical, and theatrical elements.
Since its inception in 1999, TSO has sold over 10 million concert tickets, solidifying its status as one of the top-selling acts in the world. Their ability to infuse classic holiday tunes with a powerful rock energy, combined with a symphonic grandeur and dazzling visual spectacle, has created a truly unforgettable experience.
TSO is reimagining its iconic production of "The Ghosts of Christmas Eve." Originally performed in 1999 and later adapted into a beloved TV special, this groundbreaking show was the brainchild of the late Paul O'Neill, TSO's visionary founder. Inspired by the theatrical rock operas of The Who and the immersive concerts of Pink Floyd, O'Neill sought to create a groundbreaking fusion of music, storytelling, and visual artistry.
Teaming up with talented musicians from Savatage, including Jon Oliva, Bob Kinkel, and Al Pitrelli, O'Neill crafted a unique holiday experience that resonated with audiences of all ages. Building upon the success of their early albums, "Christmas Eve and Other Stories" and "The Christmas Attic," TSO embarked on a series of groundbreaking tours and TV specials that further solidified their place in popular culture.
While TSO's repertoire has expanded to include classical masterpieces like "Beethoven's Last Night" and O'Neill's original rock operas such as "Night Castle," their innovative take on holiday music remains their signature. The passing of Paul O'Neill in 2017 was a significant loss for the music industry, but his legacy lives on through the continued efforts of his talented collaborators.
The new production of "The Ghosts of Christmas Eve" pays homage to O'Neill's vision while introducing fresh perspectives and revitalizing this timeless masterpiece. It promises to deliver a truly unforgettable experience, merging the magic of the holiday season with the raw power of rock and roll.
