The Trans-Siberian Orchestra, a mainstay of holiday rock, is bringing its storied brand of Christmas cheer back to Pittsburgh this December. Celebrating not one but three achievements, their upcoming tour is set to be especially festive with the 20th anniversary of "The Lost Christmas Eve" rock opera, reaching the remarkable attendance milestone of 20 million concertgoers and, significantly, surpassing $20 million in charitable contributions. According to WPXI, for every ticket sold, the orchestra donates at least $1 to charity, a noble tradition honoring the vision of their late founder, Paul O’Neill.
The tour will perform at the PPG Paints Arena on Dec. 21 at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., giving fans of the genre-bending ensemble ample opportunity to experience the high-octane mixture of rock music, pyrotechnics, and laser lights that has become synonymous with the group. "The Lost Christmas Eve" has not graced the stage since 2013, and this year's iteration promises to deliver an "all-new spectacle with pyrotechnics, lasers and storytelling," as reported by WPXI.
Fans eager to lock in their spots for this anticipated event can cue up their browsers and devices, as tickets are slated to go on sale starting Friday, Sept. 13, at 10 a.m. via Ticketmaster. According to a report from CBS News Pittsburgh, the tour kicks off on Nov. 13 in Green Bay before it weaves its way across the country and culminates in Oklahoma City on Dec. 30.
