The mastermind behind the Trans-Siberian Orchestra says he is beyond excited to once again bring the show back to the city of Philadelphia.
During an interview with NBC10, Paul O’Neill, the creator, lyricist and producer of TSO, revealed an interesting tidbit about their first performance.
“The very first city TSO ever played, our very first show was at the Tower,” O’Neill said. He went on to talk about playing at the Spectrum and the Wells Fargo Center.
“We love Philly,” exclaimed O’Neill.
TSO is an American progressive rock band that was founded by O’Neill in 1996. They have released a series of rock operas.
The TSO kicks off their “The Ghosts of Christmas Eve” show on November 18 in Erie, Pennsylvania.
The show comes to the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia on December 19 with two shows -- one at 3 p.m. and another at 8 p.m.

In addition to the show, the TSO is releasing its first full length new album since 2009. The album is titled “Letters From The Labyrinth.”
O’Neill said he is extremely excited to go back out on tour again and he used a unique way to describe the TSO.
“The Washington Post said the only way to describe the Trans-Siberian Orchestra is The Who meets The Phantom of the Opera with Pink Floyd’s lights on steroids.”
