Trans-Siberian Orchestra (TSO) is an American progressive rock band founded in 1996 by producer, composer, and lyricist Paul O'Neill, who brought together Jon Oliva and Al Pitrelli (both members of Savatage) and keyboardist and co-producer Robert Kinkel to form the core of the creative team. The band gained in popularity when they began touring in 1999 after completing their second album, ''The Christmas Attic'' the year previous. In 2007, the ''Washington Post'' referred to them as "an arena-rock juggernaut" and described their music as "Pink Floyd meets Yes and The Who at Radio City Music Hall." TSO has sold more than 10 million concert tickets and over 10 million albums.〔ClassicRockMagazine.com November 7, 2013〕〔()〕 The band has released a series of rock operas: ''Christmas Eve and Other Stories'', ''The Christmas Attic'', ''Beethoven's Last Night'', ''The Lost Christmas Eve'' , their two-disc ''Night Castle'' and ''Letters From the Labyrinth''. Trans-Siberian Orchestra is also known for their extensive charity work and elaborate concerts, which include a string section, a light show, lasers, "enough pyro to be seen from the international space station",〔MobileProductionMonthly〕 moving trusses, video screens, and effects synchronized to music.〔SoundSpike December 7, 2010〕 Both ''Billboard Magazine'' and ''Pollstar'' have ranked them as one of the top ten ticket-selling bands in the first decade of the new millennium.〔''Billboard'' Magazine December 11, 2009〕〔Pollstar, December 31, 2009〕 Their path to success was unusual in that TSO is the first major rock band to go straight to theaters and arenas, having never played at a club, never having an opening act and never being an opening act.〔LuminoMagazine, April 14, 2010〕 In 2013, TSO kicked off their European tour with a performance on New Year's Eve 2013-14 in front of over 1,000,000 fans at Berlin's Brandenburg Gate. "A daring feat in which the band played three shows across two continents in 27 hours."〔ClassicRockMagazine Jan, 06, 2014〕 The show was broadcast live to millions more on German television.〔ClassicRockMagazine.com Nov,07, 2013〕 ==History==
