Orlando, get ready for even more mermaid magic this opera season as Opera Orlando’s unique production of Rusalka returns to the Art & History Museums of Maitland. At the edge of a Florida everglade, the swamp nymph Rusalka falls in love with a human. With the help of a witch, she defies her father—giving up her home, family, and voice to follow her heart and join her prince on dry land. However, she quickly learns that true love can come at a terrible price. On March 8 - 9, Opera Orlando will transform the Mayan-inspired Art and History Museums of Maitland for Dvořák’s tragic operatic version of Hans Christian Anderson’s The Little Mermaid, Rusalka. With a new English translation for this site-specific production at one of Central Florida’s premier cultural destinations, audiences will experience this dark, romantic work like never before. Central Florida native soprano Shannon Jennings sings the title role, joined by renowned tenor Isaac Hurtado as the Prince, and Metropolitan Opera soprano Emily Pulley as the wise witch Ježibaba. Weaving together this sad tale of sacrifice, love, and rejection will be Company artistic director Grant Preisser, with music direction by international pianist and conductor Bernard McDonald. The audience for Rusalka will get to experience Rusalka up close as they move around the museum from one act to the next while enjoying Dvořák’s glorious music. T he production runs approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes in three acts with two intermissions. Valet parking, pre- and post-show receptions with appetizers, wine, and desserts are included.

Spring Break is already in full bloom at Orlando International Airport with the airport sharing tips to keep your adventures sunny and bright! Spring is in the air and Orlando International Airp0=ort is bracing itself for its busiest spring Break ever, with more passengers expected to travel through the airport in the coming weeks than at any other time! With Spring Break 2024 upon us, MCO is expecting a record 11 percent increase in passengers over the previous record set last year and is offering advice to make traveling through the airport as smooth and easy as possible. “We expect to set a new Spring Break benchmark with more than 7.6 million passengers,” said Kevin J. Thibault, Chief Executive Officer of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority. “This growth is actually a continuation of what we saw in 2023. For the year, we shattered all passenger records with more than 57.7 million travelers.” Like the holiday season, MCO is asking passengers to follow the 3-2-1 rule which can help ease travel. Arrive at your airline ticket counter at least 3 hours in advance. Head to security processing at least 2 hours prior to departure and arrive at your gate at least 1 hour prior to boarding. Also, always remember to pack your patience and never bring weapons through the security checkpoint. As MCO continues to welcome record numbers of travelers, parking is always at a premium in the airport, and to help ease the pain, MCO recently opened three new surface lots to respond to parking needs. The lots are accessible with E-Pass and SunPass Plus. SunPass customers must be enrolled with Easy Pay, and a transponder must be used to enter and exit the lots. A new Reserved Parking program works by allowing passengers to log in to Reserved Parking at MCO or use the MCO mobile app in advance of their arrival to the airport, punch in their vehicle information, make a payment and receive a QR code for easy access to Level 4 of Parking Garage C. Currently the program is only operational in Garage C on Level 4. Space is limited and on a first-come, first-served basis for approximately 715 spots during the rollout of this program. The cost is $32 per day. The Spring Break season stretches for 44-days this year from Saturday February 24 until Sunday April 7 Easter Sunday falls early this year, on March 31, and is anticipated to be the 8th busiest travel day this season. The following are the projected ten busiest Spring Break days at Orlando International. Saturday, March 23: 197,697 Saturday, March 31: 197,401 Saturday, March 16: 196,920 Saturday, March 9: 194,649 Sunday, March 10: 191,788 Sunday, March 17: 191,146 Sunday, March 10: 190,742 Sunday, March 31: 189,946 Friday, March 29: 188,977 Friday, March 15: 188,146 2023 Record Year at MCO This year’s Spring Break record comes on the heels of another record-setting year at Orlando International Airport. All the numbers are in and in 2023, MCO experienced a 15 percent increase in overall traffic, bringing the total number of passengers to an historic 57.7 million for the year. International traffic completely rebounded to pre-pandemic levels with 26.7 percent growth and 7 million travelers, while domestic traffic continued to reach new highs topping 50.7 million passengers, which is a 13.6 percent increase.
