2024 brings a triple celebration for TSO and marks the 20th year of their rock opera "The Lost Christmas Eve." They reached a milestone of 20 million tickets sold and overachieving their mission of donating over 20 million dollars back to charities.
We got a sneak peek and a chance to hear from Al Pitrelli, Musical Director, writer, and guitarist, and Kayla Reeves, a native of Shreveport with TSO, about how their winter tour 2024 is a triple celebration.
"What's different? Everything!" shared Pitrelli and Reeves.
"There is absolutely nothing average about a Trans-Siberian Orchestra show. There are so many different elements. When Paul O'Neil created this, he really wanted to create something for everyone," said Kayla Reeves.
" The Lost Christmas Eve " returns to the stage for the first time since 2013, and the show is expected to be even bigger and better, with packed pyrotechnics, lasers, music, and a story that can relate to all that attend.
TSO has remained true to its origin and late founder, Paul O'Neil, as progressive and giving back to the communities through philanthropy. "The whole idea," he explains, "was to create a progressive rock band that would push the boundaries (of the genre) further than any group before... Way, way further."

This year, Trans-Siberian Orchestra has surpassed the staggering 20 million dollars donated to charity. This is generated by their tradition of donating at least $1 from every ticket sold. With their 20 millionth fan attending a show on this tour, TSO will reach record concert attendance and a charitable milestone.
A special message below from Al Pitrelli, Musical Director, writer, and guitarist with TSO.
"When you go get your tickets, don't get too jammed up with where the seats are. There is not a bad seat in the house. Our production is so incredibly huge!" said Al Pitrelli.
TSO tickets are on sale for the December 5 show at the Brookshire Grocery Arena, but don't wait!
