Concert Review: Trans-Siberian Orchestra At Verizon Center, Washington, D.C., 12/16/07

Written by Nancy Dunham
Published December 23, 2007

Call it a feast for the senses, a near-religious experience, or a stunning display of creativity — those terms all describe holiday shows put on by Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

The problem is that none of those descriptions do justice to these three-hour multi-media shows that include some 60+ world-class musicians, dancers and singers, pyrotechnics, lasers, hydraulic stage lifts, and at least two stages.
