Most HelpfulMix a bit of rock with a touch of opera and you may be at the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's website. I visit this website frequently during the Christmas season to enjoy a fresh, emotional, and unusual approach to the music of the season. Upon entering the site, listeners are greeted with a great intro...

Lights! Wailing Guitars! Stunning Vocals! All this and a stirring Christmas story that makes you believe again. For me and my family it isn't Christmas until the TSO concert is attended. Nothing more need be said.
WARNING - spoilers!
Our family likes the classical/rock Christmas stuff we'd heard from TSO, so I got us tickets for their show in Portland. I had heard there would be lasers.
Oh. My. God. This was the cheesiest, overblown, self-aggrandizing, over-the-top show I have ever witnessed - it even topped PARODIES of overblown rock shows. From the big hair to the scantily clad singers/dancers to the LED screens, lasers, fog and pyrotechnics, it transported us back to the 1980s, and not in a good way.
The first half of the show, the Christmas parable about the angel and such, was schmaltzy, preachy and...
review »Trans Siberian Orchestra was founded by composer, gutarist Paul O'Neil in 1996, he asked his friends John Oliva, Rober Kinkel, and Al Pitrelli if they were interested in forming a band together.
the idea was to re create christmas songs in more of a rock opera fashion at first the idea didn't sit well, but as it turned out alot of people both old and young really like the music.
TSO uses a 60 piece live orchestra and a choir in all their concerts and albums. I think while the band was touring in 04' their lineup inlcuded (aside from the band) 14 vocalists, 14 musicians and 2 narrators.
since 96'...
review »I went with my mother in law and our thirteen year old nephew who wanted to go to this concert for his birthday. The concert was too long, too loud and had very bright lights that were blinding. The concert was interesting and entertaining for the first 30 minutes but by the end of hour 2 we were all ready to go home and still had another hour to go! The nephew was falling asleep even amidst the blaring music and explosions of flames! It was just so boring... The music was unoriginal and very repetitive. The Christian spiritual aspect lacked depth and was shallow. I was disappointed...
