Orange County Regional History Center will host a special preview of an upcoming mermaid-inspired production by Opera Orlando on Thursday, February 22 at 6:30 p.m.

The Orange County Regional History Center’s Pam Schwartz will focus on local historical and mythological ties, while the Art and History Museums of Maitland’s Danielle Thomas will share about their Mayan-inspired architecture and artistic relevancy.
