Trans-Siberian Orchestra (Lewis Lee)

Have a very bombastic Christmas!

Trans-Siberian Orchestra, a very fine musical group that's never met a pyrotechnic display or a dramatic light show it didn't love, is returning to Mohegan Sun Arena on Friday with its "The Ghosts of Christmas Eve Tour."

Audiences will hear versions of such holiday tunes as "O Come All Ye Faithful" and "Christmas Eve Sarajevo 12/24." And the storyline centers of a runaway who seeks refuge from the cold in an old, abandoned vaudeville theater — where, naturally, ghosts materialize.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra: "The Ghosts of Christmas Eve Tour," 3 p.m. Friday, Mohegan Sun Arena; $42.50, $52.50; mohegansun.com.
