I got into TSO via the house in the USA with all the lights on it using their 'Wizards in Winter' track. I knew nothing about 'Beethoven's Last Night' as I was looking forward to the experience from a blank page perspective. It was just INCREDIBLE. The set and effects were amazing, the sound was spot on so you could hear every word (important when you needed to to follow the story), the 'cast' fantastic. I would have to say I think the best live show I have EVER been to. Really hope they tour one of the Christmas shows over here.

The show was totally amazing and breathtaking. The sincronization music, lights and fireworks was perfect. The whole band was outstanding as expected. Additionally the couple of songs of Savatege were awesome and of course very welcomed.

Pummelled and plagiarised into submission by a troop of eighties big-hair cast-offs this show snored to great heights in pretension and pomposity to reach a holier-than-thou altitude never quite achieved by a ‘band’ before.
It brought back painful memories of mind-numbing eighties mediocrity (think Starship’s “We Built This City” ) melded like an alien life-form to pitiful ‘Hooked On Classics’ best-of-beethoven (et al) pap.
Really abysmal in scope and depth, and docile unconvincing musicality and orchestration. Limp light shows and tired lasers added to the confusion rather than the majesty.
The female vocalists were powerful and worth paying the money for, the rest of the show was just a sigh.
Uninspiring soft focus rock meets classics for the timid and undemanding.

Possibly the silliest evenining I've ever attended. The pomposity of the audience when confronted by our hysterical giggles and joy at the evening was amazing. Check out the videos on Youtube - an absolute hoot.

It's been a long wait for Trans Siberian Orchestra to come to these shores, but it sure was worth it. The imagination of Paul O'Neill & Jon Oliva to create such an amazing experience on stage is an obvious result of the great passion they have for their music.
TSO aren't a band many in the UK will be familiar with. A band that originally began as a project outside of Oliva's main band Savatage (TSO's core band have all been a part of Savatage), TSO have become a touring juggernaut in the States & with this performance it's clear why.
Theatrical storytelling, spectacular lazer/lighting effects. great backdrops & of course the awe inspiring musicianship from the numerous band members make for an experience that is hard to match. Especially coupled with the stellar production on offer on the night.
Where Savatage as a band were at the origin of the progressive rock movement, introducing classical music within they songs, TSO take the whole thing that bit further.
If you are a fan of music as a form of art, you will be sure to taken in with what TSO offer.
Look forward to TSO returning to promote their latest album 'Night Castles'.

My smile hasn't yet faded. I use TSO music for my computerised Xmas light show on the front of my house (Wizards of Winter etc) - but no way did it compare to the lasers and pyrotechnics and LED projections and more lasers and .....
WOW!!!!!
What a stunning way to celebrate my 60th birthday.

I just don't know where to start - I enjoyed the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's Beethoven's Last Night so much. The energy, the music, the set - absolutely amazing! This was my first live experience of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, but it most certainly will not be my last. For anyone who enjoys their music on CD or MP3, take it from me - go and see them live.

I went, I watched and I was blown away by the extraordinary show that has it all.
Lighting effects, smoke, fire, projected images, energy and the most amazing sound you will ever hear.
I loved it and can’t wait to next year when they promised to be back.
I would even by a ticket to America, just to see them. They were that good.

Hammersmith Apollo, took my partner to the concert. Not sure how she would view it as she's not into rock. But she loved the whole TSO experience. I've been fortunate to see them 3 times prior to this while living in the USA. This time was just as good even though some of their big arena set was missing. And for those that saw them for the first time, I hope you enjoyed it !!!!!

I have attended hundreds of concerts over more years than I care to remember, and consider this one of the finest shows I have ever seen.
From every aspect it was exceptional, crystal clear sound, stunning special effects and lighting, together with superb singing and playing ... not forgetting the wonderful speaking tones of the narrator. I will be honest that at one point I wondered how can they be this good are they actually playing these compositions?
I had never heard their music, but knew a couple of their artists through my love of the SAS band, who appeared with the group either in the past or present which was a good enough reason for purchasing a ticket ... thank goodness I did.
For nearly 3 hours the group of nearly 20 played, danced, sung, spoke and so deserved the standing ovation from what to me seemed a half full theatre .. a shame but how fortunate we all were to witness such a show.
No I am not going to tell people what they missed in more detail, but urge you to purchase the Beethoven or Night Castle CD's .. if you like rock music with a classical flavour you will have a treat .... think of Meat Loaf in his prime and you get the idea
Their parting words were see you next year (this being their first visit to the UK) .. I will be first in the queue for a ticket .. praise indeed.

Imagine the greatest band you have ever heard, then imagine the most incredible show that you have ever seen. Add them together, add a twist of OMG and you are getting somewhere near to the effect of TSO live.
The appeal of this band can be best explained by the make up of the crowd, blue rinsers, suiters, rockers, families, young and old, long hairs and short hairs. Almost every section of society was represented, and every single one of them were out of their seats in breathless admiration by the end of the show.

I Have been waiting for the Trans Siberian Orchestra to come to the UK for a few years now, ever since i heard their music "Wizards in Winter" set to a video on Youtube, the one with the Christmas lights on the house dancing to the music. I was not dissappointed, the music and singing was awesome. The narration in between the music added to the whole spectacle. The production also included a great light show with pyrotechnics and lasers that gave it a real "wow"factor. The show went on for almost three hours so you got your money's worth too. would I like to see then again?. Yes, definitely.
