What reading level is Chapters of Opera : Being Historical And Critical Observations And Records Concerning the Lyric Drama in New York From Its Earliest Days Down to the Present Time book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Its range was com- mensurate with all that could be asked of it, and she moved with greatest ease in the regions which most of her rivals carefully avoided. To throw out those scintillant bubbles of sound which used to be looked upon as the highest achievement in singing seemed to be an entirely natural 236 PHENOMENAL POPULARITY OF " CARMEN " mode of expression with her. With the reasonableness of such a mode of expression I am not concerned now; it is enough that Mme. Melba came nearer to prov...iding it with justification than any one of her contemporaries of that day, except Mme. Sembrich, or any of her con- temporaries of to-day. Added to these gifts and graces, she disclosed most admirable musical instincts, a quality which the people had been taught to admire more than ever while they were learning how to give reverence due to the dramatic elements in the modern lyric drama.
I have already intimated that Mme. Melba's operas found little favor with the public compared with " Carmen " and " Faust," andj perhaps, there was in this more than a mere indication of the educational influence left by the German period.
