Yesterday, on the day after Thanksgiving, The Trans-Siberian Orchestra played at the DCU Center in Worcester. Their CD is a staple on our Christmas playlist. When we were in California in 2012, we visited a neighborhood of 19 houses all lit up in Christmas lights and blinking in time to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra on our radio.

They really know how to put on a show. The first half of the concert was sort of a musical opera with a Christmas story about a young girl with a narrator. The second half was just their music. The lighting and light show was amazing. The back wall of the stage was an entire video screen. Pieces of the stage move up & down. A balcony catwalk appeared out of nowhere and the performers and singers were on the catwalk. Here are just a few of the videos that I took that night.

It was a great concert, didn't have to drive far, had great seats, and a wonderful way to spend the day after Thanksgiving getting ready for the Christmas holiday.
Little bit of Trivia: There are actually 2 Trans-Siberian Orchestras on tour. One on the East Coast & another on the West Coast. also, When they are touring a specific area (like new England), they use local youth musicians for the violin string section. What a trhill that must be for these kids.
