Trans-Siberian Orchestra's (TSO) 2015 Winter Tour featuring the group's beloved stories performed in their own renowned audio visual manner is coming back to Tampa! This year's enchanted Yuletide tale is The Ghosts of Christmas Eve, which TSO will take to 60 cities across North America for over 100 performances. Live Nation is proud to welcome TSO when they return to Amalie Arena for two spectacular shows on December 13 at 3:00 and 7:30 PM.
Based on TSO's multi-platinum DVD and long running PBS fundraiser, the story follows the journey of a young runaway who, on Christmas Eve, breaks into an abandoned vaudeville theater seeking shelter from the cold and encounters ghostly visions from the concert hall's past. The Ghosts of Christmas Eve features lasting crowd-pleasers as "Christmas Eve Sarajevo 12/24," "O' Come All Ye Faithful," "Good King Joy," "Christmas Canon," "Music Box Blues," "Promises To Keep," and "This Christmas Day."
TSO creator, lyricist and composer Paul O'Neill says, "The Ghosts of Christmas Eve brings me back to TSO's beginnings. We recorded this TV show before TSO ever toured - it was almost like our first show. It was filmed in a majestic old theatre in Jersey City and we got to work with the legendary Ossie Davis, Jewel and Michael Crawford. There was a magic we captured and I think the special features some of the best songs from our catalog at the time. We want to keep the spirit of the story alive and weave it together to encompass the best of the Christmas Trilogy that fans of all three stories can enjoy. The band always gets excited when they get to do something new and there is going to be lots of new music and twists for our fans on this tour."
