It's a deliberate extravaganza. Never have you felt "Jingle Bells" rumble in your chest so heavily or been mesmerized by "The Nutcracker Suite" so completely.

Who are TSO?
The rock band's concerts are arguably the most visually dazzling live event you're ever likely to see, featuring giant video screens, a pyrotechnics display that rivals many cities' New Year's celebrations, and more lasers than Star Wars. Composed of four original members, the group's touring lineup's ranks are swelled with entire string sections, and dozens of extra musicians and choirs.
As for the music, TSO takes the likes of Pink Floyd and Yes as their inspiration, adding in elements of classical music, heavy metal, and just about anything else that takes their fancy. You won't find many other bands switching from a lacerating guitar solo to the heavenly voices of a children's choir without a moment's notice. The Ghosts of Christmas Eve Tour is named after the band's 1999 holiday-themed\rock opera TV movie which they'll be playing live!

TSO - So Much Talent, Technology and Beauty. Loved it!
Was totally enthralled with the talent, the visuals and the fantastic musical arrangements. Christmas never sounded or looked so good! Someone commented, "a little heavy on the religion." I don't know what that means, but Christmas...really? The two female lead vocalists were superb; different styles with equally strong impact. Guitarists and fiddle player were top tier and pivotal to the show. The piano player was great, totally focused with unbelievable energy and style. The other singers and dancers added a classy element in every appearance. We're going to make this show a tradition for the family every Christmas. "In the Hall of the Mountain King" was fantastic. Would be great to hear "Night on Bald Mountain." Well done, TSO. You are truly peerless in your art. ... Read more

Over the top theatrics (in a good way).
Imagine if If Meat Loaf (circa 1977) and David Lee Roth had a love child and Pink Floyd let them use their stage. Great music, bombastic staging & effects and a terrific mix of Xmas tunes and well-known classical pieces. ... Read more

Spectacular...Best Concert I have ever seen...period!!
I have never witnessed such a spectacular concert in my entire life. The effects were mind- blowing, and the sounds and the sights were just superb, and just when you thought it couldn't get any better...it did! I am a huge fan of The Nutcracker, and quite frankly, I have never heard such a roaring rendition of the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy as I did last night in Toronto (I'm certain that Tchaikovsky would have given his approval). The TSO's version gives a whole new meaning to the term 'classical rock.' People of all ages would love the concert, although it may be a bit loud for the younger ones. I can't wait to see them again next year, and would definitely recommend the show to everyone.
We were a party of 9, and had little trouble getting seated at The Fox restaurant on Bay Street, which is literally across the street from the Air Canada Centre, along with a few other restaurants, and parking can be found all around the ACC from about $20-$30 for the evening. ... Read more
