INDIANAPOLIS — Multi-platinum rock group Trans-Siberian Orchestra will return to the Hoosier State this winter.
“THE LOST CHRISTMAS EVE” tour will stop in 66 cities and deliver 109 performances. It kicks off Nov. 13 at the Resch Center in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and runs through Dec. 30, wrapping up at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
TSO will be playing one show at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis Thursday, Dec. 19.
"Expect an all-new, dazzling spectacle packed with pyrotechnics, lasers, and the incredible storytelling synonymous with TSO," the press release reads. "The celebration continues with a high-energy second set featuring the group's greatest hits and fan favorites."
TSO hasn't performed "THE LOST CHRISTMAS EVE" since 2013.
Here's a full description of the show:
"THE LOST CHRISTMAS EVE" is a product of the imagination of and based on TSO’s double-platinum CD of the same name. The plot is one that resonates with people deeply over the holiday season. Alone on Christmas Eve, a bitter old businessman wandered New York City. Once a rising star, he’d traded love, family, and joy for a life of solitude and regret. The tragic loss of his wife hardened his heart, pushing him away from his infant son and into decades of isolation. Then, a chance encounter with a mysterious girl led him to a life-altering phone call. His son, who he abandoned decades ago, was alive, a gentle soul caring for troubled newborns in a maternity ward. After seeking him out, the son gives a silent and forgiving gaze to his long-lost father. As they sit together, comforting innocent infants, a new reunited life together begins."
Event officials said this year marks a triple celebration for TSO: 20 years of their rock opera, "THE LOST CHRISTMAS EVE," reaching their 20 millionth concertgoer and surpassing $20 million donated to charity.
TSO has a tradition of donating at least $1 from every ticket sold. With their 20 millionth fan attending a show on this tour, TSO will be hitting a concert attendance record and a charitable milestone.
Tickets for the tour go on sale Friday, Sept. 13 at 10 a.m. on Ticketmaster. A limited number of specially priced $49.99 tickets will be available for one week, or while supplies last.
Event officials said a portion of the proceeds from every ticket sold will go toward Sheltering Wings and the Indianapolis Zoo.
