I know, I know, Trans-Siberian Orchestra is NOT a theatre event. BUT, I was fortunate enough to get Trans-Siberian Orchestra tickets when TSO was in Minneapolis this past Saturday--and TSO WAS dramatic (as can be proven by the picture of some TSO members playing while being lifted up with a hover-craft type deal)!
Our seats for Trans-Siberian Orchestra were so awesome, we felt right in the action! If you have not seen TSO before, I highly suggest you contact Ticket King right now to find Trans-Siberian Orchestra tickets! If Trans-Siberian tickets are no longer available for your city because they already have been to your area, be sure to mark your calender for next year! Seeing Trans Siberian Orchestra in concert is a great way to get into the holiday spirit!
Trans-Siberian Orchestra played for nearly 3 hours! The first part of the evening is a Christmas story which is narrated by a man with a soothing voice, with songs in between the story, which TSO themselves describes as Rock Opera. The songs have a metal-spin to them, with crazy violin players running around, about a dozen local strings players, and metal guitarists. The songs include well known Christmas Carols such as "O Holy Night", "Angels We Have Heard on High", and "O, Come All Ye Faithful" and "Christmas Canon" which is a cover of Johann Pachelbel's famous Canon in D Major, with lyrics added.
In addition to all the music happening, Trans-Siberian Orchestra has lasers, lights, pyrotechnics and video screens galore! The second part of the TSO performance includes their own songs synchronized with their performance with the lights, lasers and pyrotechnics.
Do you remember the beer ad from a few years ago? Where the house with tons of Christmas lights on it, had the lights going in time to the music? That was a TSO song called "Wizards In Winter"
My favorite moment of the whole show is when one of the female vocalists sang "Queen of the Winter Night". She did an amazing job!
