The Trans-Siberian Orchestra's 2025 "The Ghosts of Christmas Eve" tour made a spectacular stop in Denver, CO, mirroring the Cincinnati performances with dual, sold-out shows at the Ball Arena on Saturday, November 15. The Mile High City witnessed the full visual force of the production, amplified by our state-of-the-art indoor drone light show.
The challenge in bringing this massive production into the Ball Arena is adapting the intricate system of lights, pyro, and effects to a venue known for its elevation and scale. Our technology delivered a consistent, powerful visual experience for both the matinee and evening shows in Denver.
Segment One: Dozens of Drones for "Dream of Candlelight"
During the ballad "Dream of Candlelight," we deployed a fleet of dozens of drones to create an emotional, ambient light spectacle.
This first indoor drone show sequence created sweeping drone show designs of light above the audience. The fleet of dozens of drones flew in precise formation, crafting large, gentle designs that moved gracefully with the music. It transformed the wide expanse of the Ball Arena into an intimate, cathedral-like setting of glowing light, marking an unforgettable moment in the Trans-Siberian Orchestra Denver show.
Segment Two: High-Speed Drones for "Wish Liszt"
Later in the concert, the atmosphere shifted to pure rock opera chaos for "Wish Liszt (Toy Shop Madness)." This segment required a dynamic and aggressive drone light show to match the high-octane guitar work.
As performers took to the elevated lift platforms, our dozens of drones executed high-speed movements, weaving complex, kinetic drone show designs around the musicians. The careful, custom flying ensured the drones flew safely underneath the operational lift as the guitarists ascended, fully integrating the digital light art with the live performance elements for a thrilling, integrated visual display at the Ball Arena.
The Denver performances at Ball Arena were a resounding success, demonstrating the flexibility and power of the Illuminate Drones system to enhance the rock spectacular in any large-scale venue.
