COEUR d'ALENE - Bistro on Spruce has great food.

For one night, they'll also have some exquisite music.

There are no tickets to purchase; Bistro will donate proceeds from its customers' bills to Opera Coeur d'Alene.

Guests will be entertained by Opera Coeur d'Alene's general director, Todd Robinson, and Metropolitan Opera star Aaron St. Clair Nicholson. They'll be joined by other stars from Opera Coeur d'Alene's production of Faust, which premiers Sept. 23 at Schuler Auditorium on the North Idaho College campus.
