TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA have announced that this year's tour is the live debut of The Christmas Attic. A brand new video trailer has been released and you can check it out below.
“After kicking off the New Year in front of two million fans at Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate, followed by our second European tour, the band felt that a perfect way to end the year would be to perform the only rock opera from the trilogy that has never been seen live. Some of the songs off The Christmas Attic have never been played live. As I have always said ‘it is fun to write the songs, it is fun to record them, but they are never really completed until we perform them in front of a live arena audience'. Of course the second half of the show will feature TSO iconic classics and fan favorites such as "Wizards In Winter", "Requiem" and "Christmas Eve/ Sarajevo 12/24"." - Paul O'Neill (TSO creator, lyricist and composer)
The Christmas Attic will also be re-released to coincide with the tour, complete with downloadable bonus tracks, as well as a special vinyl edition. The album's (and stage production's) narrative begins on Christmas Eve, when a young girl's curiosity leads her to a night of mischief and magic. She decides to sneak up into the attic of her parents' home while she should be asleep and there discovers a magical doorway to the past in the form of a mysterious trunk filled with ornaments, toys, old records and bundles of handwritten letters. A startling discovery in one of the letters, leads to an unlikely adventure.
Says TSO: "We’d also like to invite you to explore our new website, which integrates our old band website with our fan club (trans-siberianexpress.com) into a single site. We will be rolling out some great new features and content in the coming months so come back soon! In the meantime, if you were a member of the trans-siberianexpress.com, you can login to our new website using the same username and password that you used before.
