Every year since 1991, the Baton Rouge Ballet Theatre has put on a lavish and Cajun-spirited production of The Nutcracker: A Tale from the Bayou. With elaborate sets that recall famous Louisiana landmarks, from the Old State Capitol to Oak Alley Plantation, a cast of hundreds and live accompaniment by the Baton Rouge Symphony Orchestra, this year’s production promises to be an incredible artistic delight. Performances are at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday at the Baton Rouge River Center. Tickets range from $20 to $42.
