Tonight, King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia attended the opening season at the Teatro Real (Royal Theatre) in Madrid with the premiere of the opera 'Otello', a lyrical drama in four acts by Giuseppe Verdi to an Italian libretto by Arrigo Boito, based on Shakespeare's play Othello.
Their Majesties were escorted to the Royal Box and prior to the commencement of the operatic performance, the Spanish National Anthem was played.

Queen Letizia's accessories offered no surprises. She wore her Magrit 'Mila' patent pumps and carried her black satin clutch.
Her hair was pulled back in a pretty bun which showed off her dazzling "wedding" earrings.
The King and Queen of Spain will be making their annual trip to New York on Monday and Tuesday for the UN General Assembly.
