(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, September 14, 2012 ) Columbus, OH – To give the folks at Columbus a New Year’s Eve treat, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra has announced that it will stage two performances at the Nationwide Arena on December 30. The performances will be at 3:00 PM and 8:00 PM, making the 30th of December a memorable Sunday for those who decide to see the world-famous orchestra live.
The Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s holiday presentation entitled ‘The Lost Christmas Eve’ is set to begin on November 15, 2012 at the Mid America Center in Council Bluffs IA and the Peoria Civic Center Arena in Peoria IL. The shows will continue all through November and December, and will cover several cities across different states. The November lineup includes East Lansing MI, Cincinnati OH, Colorado Springs CO, Toledo OH, Denver CO, Hamilton ONT, Salt Lake City UT, Uncasville CT, Spokane WA, Manchester NH, Seattle WA, Portland OR, Wilkes Barre PA, Richmond VA, Sacramento CA, Charlotte NC, Greenville SC, and San Diego CA.
Come December, the orchestra will move on to Glendale and Raleigh for back to back performances on the 1st of the month. The shows will then move on to Greensboro, Las Vegas, Rochester, Wichita, Dayton, Tulsa, Grand Rapids, North Little Rock, Rosemont, and several other cities before the orchestra concludes their holiday tour at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, OH.
The Columbus show, however, will be back to back with a show at the BMO Harris Bradley Center in Milwaukee, WI.
The Trans-Siberian Orchestra is a well-known orchestra in the United States. It consists of a 60-piece orchestra and a choir of 14 vocalists, 14 musicians, and 2 narrators. The orchestra is quite unique, though, as it combines classic opera with rock music and Christmas tunes. The overall concept seemed odd at first but was eventually warmly received by audiences of all ages.
The rock orchestra, as it is sometimes called, was founded by Paul O’Neill, Robert Kinkel, and John Oliva back in 1996. In 2000, they released their first and only non-Christmas album entitled Beethoven’s Last Night, a concept album revolving around Ludwig van Beethoven’s last night on earth. In 2005, the orchestra’s tour was hailed as one of its most successful concert tours of that year when it earned just a little under $40 million. Their bestselling album, however, remains to be their debut album, entitled Christmas Eve and Other Stories, which they released in 1996.
