Eleonore is beautiful and she's only 15. Wait! Wasn't she a toddler just a week ago?

They both look lovely - and it's nice to see them attending an opera together. One rarely sees the younger generation encouraged to appreciate great music. There seems to be a misconception that they can only like the popular music of their own generation, when they can actually enjoy a wide variety if they've been exposed to it.

Agreed. My parents had season passes to the symphony for decades, and they took my brothers and I as well. There were many times when, for me as a young girl, it was an exercise in sitting still, not yawning, and clapping even when I thought it was all awful. But as I got older, I grew to love opera and classical music--along with Johnny Cash, Dolly, The Beatles, and especially REM.

Eleanore looks like she's already developed an appreciation for opera.

Doesn't Eleonore play a violin? Queen Mathilde plays the piano and possibly other instruments. I wonder if they have had vocal training.
