Trans-Siberian Orchestra

Begin with the theatrical appeal of the Phantom of the Opera and the rock opera storytelling of The Who’s, "Tommy." Then add Romantic Era classical melodies a la Mozart and Strauss, the progressive classical/rock fusion of bands like Queen and Yes, the metal edge of Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin and dustings of musical spices that range from Gospel to Celtic to Motown to Jazz. Have these varied musical ingredients brought to life in the most powerful way possible – by a 60-piece ensemble that marries a full orchestra, a full rock band with a dozen lead singers. Complement this massive sonic recipe with staging that is always one step beyond state-of-the-art, a sensory onslaught of lighting and pyrotechnics. And lastly, defy the laws of inflation by having a modest entry price – so rock-loving parents can take along their rock-loving children and maybe even their own parents, to comprise the most cross-generational/cross-genre audience in the rock concert business.
