Illuminate Drones Takes Flight with Trans-Siberian Orchestra in Cincinnati

The Trans-Siberian Orchestra lit up Cincinnati, OH, on Saturday, November 15, with their spectacular 2025 "The Ghosts of Christmas Eve" tour. They held two electrifying performances at the Heritage Bank Center, and let me tell you, it was a sight to behold! For both sold-out shows, Illuminate Drones brought the magic with dual, high-tech indoor drone light shows. The visual experience was as breathtaking as the music itself.

Executing synchronized indoor drone light show segments in the fast-paced, high-stakes environment of a TSO production is no small feat. The precision required to fly these formations around existing light rigs and pyrotechnics at the Heritage Bank Center showcases our technical prowess for the full TSO 2025 tour.

Segment One: 34 Drones for "Dream of Candlelight"

During the second half of the performance, we kicked things off with our first segment featuring 33 drones. They soared right over the front of house seating, creating a stunning visual display.

This indoor drone show transformed the atmosphere for the "Dream of Candlelight" segment. With a solo performer on stage, the fleet of 33 drones commanded the space, crafting elaborate light designs that immersed the audience in the song. It was a flawless execution of a complex, large-scale drone formation, a core part of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra Cincinnati spectacle.

Segment Two: High-Octane Drones for "Wish Liszt"

About 25 minutes later, we unleashed the second, more aggressive drone light show for "Wish Liszt (Toy Shop Madness)." This sequence was all about speed and dynamic proximity to the performers.

As two guitarists were elevated on a lift, our drones zipped through complex, high-energy paths around them. A key technical feature in Cincinnati was the highly controlled flying pattern that took the drones underneath the operating lift while the guitarists performed. This integration allowed the drone light show to blend seamlessly with the live musicians, transforming "Wish Liszt" into a kinetic, multi-layered visual experience for everyone at the Heritage Bank Center.

The Magic of Indoor Drone Shows

Indoor drone shows are a game-changer for events. They add a layer of excitement and creativity that traditional lighting just can't match. Imagine the thrill of watching drones dance in the air, synchronized with music, creating a visual symphony. It's not just a show; it's an experience!
