"All year long, we look forward to our joyful, annual Nochebuena holiday celebration at The Soraya. This year we are especially grateful to have a way to be together at this time, even while we shelter at home," said The Soraya's Executive Director Thor Steingraber. "Nochebuena En Casa continues our online offerings that brings the talents of these extraordinary performing artists directly to our audiences."
