Progressive metal Christmas-themed band Trans-Siberian Orchestra has booked “The Lost Christmas Eve” 20th Anniversary Tour! They will perform 109 performances of their Rock Opera from November through December. Over the course of the tour, the band will perform to their their 20 millionth customer, and so far they have donated $20 million to charity from their annual tours. Trans-Siberian Orchestra donates at least $1 from every ticket sold to charity, and donates to local causes in every city.

TSO’s music director and lead guitarist, Al Pitrelli said, “When I was working on Lost Christmas Eve with Paul O’Neill, we talked a lot about time. He 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. The Lost Christmas Eve is about that hope: it’s never too late for any of us.”

 

About “The Lost Christmas Eve”

“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.

To commemorate its 20th anniversary, Rhino will be releasing special vinyl pressings of “The Lost Christmas Eve” hitting retail stores nationwide beginning Sept.13. These collector’s editions come as 2-LP sets housed in stunning gatefold jackets with a deluxe 20-page book.

 

Music lovers can choose from the standard black vinyl, cobalt, or crystal-clear vinyl pressings. For the ultimate collector’s experience, fans can also head directly to the TSO store on Sept. 13. There, they’ll find an exclusive “The Lost Christmas Eve” vinyl package. This premium package boasts a sculpted embossed sparkly-foil gatefold jacket housed in a protective slipcase.
