Verne got a preview of two arias from Cosi fan tutte, a two-act opera by Mozart that will highlight Sunday's Opera On The Lake Cruise by Inland Northwest Opera. In the studio, Derrick Parker sang "How I Hate to Break the News" and Heather Parker sang "Stability in a Soldier." Both dialogue and song will be in English on Sunday and the performance will be in the round. The sunset cruise boards at the Couer d'Alene Resort at 6:30 pm for the 7:30 to 9:30 pm event.

Inland Northwest Opera singers Heather and Derrick Parker are accompanied by pianist Scott Redenour.
