Marie Osmond is sure to have a busy holiday season, and it has nothing to do with decorating, baking and shopping.

The veteran entertainer is looking forward to the debut of her new Lifetime movie, “A Fiancé for Christmas,” premiering at 8 p.m. Dec. 9. Her 17-track album, “Unexpected,” comes out the next day.

On Dec. 1, she launches “Marie Osmond’s Magical Symphonic Christmas,” a three-week tour that stops Dec. 15 at The Palace Theatre in Greensburg.

It doesn’t really feel like Christmas if she’s not on tour, she said, and she likes to share her holiday joy with her fans.

“I guarantee you will leave the theater filled with the holiday spirit,” she said. “The show is full of fun and movement and colors and textures.”

Osmond’s performance draws on hits from five decades in the entertainment business, holiday staples and cuts from “Unexpected.”

The album contains songs that Osmond says she has loved over the years, including selections from opera, Broadway musicals and classical composers. Many of her fans don’t know that she’s a lifelong opera enthusiast, she said.

“As a young girl, I fell in love with opera. When I would shop for records with my mother, I always bought opera,” she said.

Years ago, she said, a vocal coach told her, “‘Honey, you’re a soprano, you can sing opera.’ So I spent 20 years learning to sing opera.”

“Nessun Dorma,” the iconic aria from Puccini’s “Turandot,” was the first piece chosen for “Unexpected,” and it leads of the album.

Tour partners

Joining Osmond on tour are Daniel Emmet, a classical-crossover artist and veteran of “America’s Got Talent,” and David Osmond, her nephew and host of the children’s television program, “Wonderama.”

At The Palace, she and Emmet will reprise “The Prayer,” a duet they recorded for “Unexpected.”

As for her nephew, she said, “When you hear his story, you’ll know why he’s there.”

David Osmond is part of the second generation of singing Osmonds. His father, Alan Osmond, performed in the 1970s with his siblings as The Osmond Brothers, later shortened to The Osmonds. Aunt Marie and Uncle Donny, who also performed as a duo, are best-known among the bunch.

With his brothers, David began performing at age 4 as the lead singer of The Osmond’s 2nd Generation. He stepped out of the spotlight when he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, but returned with the 2019 single, “I Can Do This.”

As the only sister among eight brothers, Marie Osmond made her own musical mark at a young age. Her 1973 debut single, “Paper Roses,” went to No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles Chart just weeks after she turned 14.

Since then, she’s performed in concert, television, movies, radio, Las Vegas and Broadway. She has written three books, all of which have made it to the New York Times bestsellers list.

Along with actor John Schneider, Osmond co-founded the Children’s Miracle Network, a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising funds for children’s hospitals across North America.

At 62, she said, “The reason I know I’m still out here performing is that I have the most amazing fans on the planet. We’ve had some hard years lately, so I want to help people to let fear go and let the holiday spirit grow.”

Tickets for “Symphonic Christmas” are $79-$125, available by calling 724-836-8000 or thepalacetheatre.org. The show begins at 8 p.m.
