Multi-platinum rock group Trans-Siberian Orchestra will celebrate 20 years of their beloved rock opera “The Lost Christmas Eve” when they return to the Kia Center in Orlando next weekend.
On Saturday, December 14, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra (TSO) will perform two shows at the Kia Center, which is located at 400 W Church Street in downtown Orlando. The first show kicks off at 2:30 p.m., followed by a second show at 7:30 p.m.
The current tour marks the return of “The Lost Christmas Eve” to the stage for the first time since 2013. Audiences can expect an all-new spectacle with pyrotechnics, lasers, and the storytelling that TSO is known for.
TSO donates at least $1 from every ticket sold to charity, and the band is expected to surpass $20 million in donations during this winter tour.
Al Pitrelli, Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s music director and lead guitarist, fondly remembers working on Lost Christmas Eve with Paul O’Neill, the late founder of the group who had a vision of TSO being one of rock’s most generous bands.
“We talked a lot about time,” stated Pitrelli. “(Paul) said that losing money or things wasn’t as bad as losing time. Material losses can be recovered, but you can never get time back. That’s why he always thought it was never too late to change. Never too late for forgiveness. People can make things right, forgive each other, and reconnect.”
Pitrelli added that Lost Christmas Eve is about that hope, since “it’s never too late for any of us.”
Tickets are still available for both Orlando shows, starting at $59.99.
