Trans-Siberian Orchestra (TSO) is teaming up with Hallmark Channel to present the band's multi-platinum rock opera, "The Lost Christmas Eve" - the newest chapter in the TSO holiday tradition.

Wildlights at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, QFM96 and Live Nation are proud to welcome TSO when they return to Columbus for two spectacular shows at Nationwide Arena Sunday, December 30 at 3PM & 8PM. A portion of the proceeds from every ticket will benefit the Columbus Zoo’s conservation efforts. As a special offer Ticketmaster will offer a download of TSO’s newest release “Dreams of Fireflies (On a Christmas Night)” with every ticket sold online redeemable on October 30th.

"The Lost Christmas Eve" has been called "a story of loss and redemption" featuring a diverse soundtrack fusing rock, classical, folk, Broadway, and R&B on a journey into the "Capra-esque" world of TSO creator/producer, Paul O'Neill. Encompassing a rundown hotel, old toy store, blues bar, Gothic cathedral, and their respective inhabitants intertwined during a single enchanted Christmas Eve in New York, the show is sure to start the holiday season off right. "The Lost Christmas Eve" will be performed in its entirety and feature the hit single, "Wizards in Winter", as well as crowd favorites, "Christmas Nights in Blue" and "Siberian Sleigh Ride" followed by new songs from TSO's Fall EP release from Lava/Republic, "Dreams of Fireflies (On a Christmas Night)", classics from TSO's debut album, "Christmas Eve & Other Stories" and the rest of the heralded catalogue of rock operas. Since their debut in 1996, TSO has defied the rules of an ever-changing music industry. Year after year, TSO has ranked in the Top 10 for both gross revenues and attendance (according to Pollstar magazine) by playing live to over one million fans annually. Since their inception, TSO has sold in excess of 8.5 million albums and performed to more than 9 million fans in 150+ cities worldwide.

Tickets start at just $31
