I had taxied the aircraft to a hold short position on Z1 for RWY36L and parked the brakes. While waiting for our clearance from tower to takeoff our aircraft was struck on the right stabilizer and then right wingtip by an A330 that taxied behind us. Our aircraft was not moving as we had the brakes set.We [notified] tower and requested assistance. I made several PA's to the cabin crew and passengers to stay seated and keep calm. Ramp personnel and a fire truck observed the damage and no spillage of fluids. We left the aircraft configured as it was and coordinated a return to a gate. There were no injuries to crew or passengers.After arrival at the gate station personnel rerouted the passengers and crew. I informed dispatch and the Chief pilot on duty; as well as Union representatives. After ensuring the aircraft and passengers were secure I left with the crew to the hotel.
