NOBA presents The Nutcracker Suite

Just like earnest wishes for peace on earth, it doesn't seem as if goodwill for The Nutcracker will run out anytime soon. The timeless tale of Clara, the toy soldiers, and those waltzing flowers gets its annual treatment from the New Orleans Ballet Association. Satisfy your Christmas tradition—or start a new one—with a seat at Tulane University's Dixon Hall on Sunday. Performances at 3 pm and 6 pm. $15 adults. nobadance.com.
