What reading level is Picturesque Sicily book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
She sang her duet with Jos6 admirably, and acted with self-sus- tained dramatic power. Her encore, although long delayed, was bravely won, and came at the very close of the opera. But, when it did come, there was no mistaking the fact that the brave little lady had com- pelled the admiration of all claques and all factions in the audience. She was recalled again and again ; and as the audience by this time had roared itself into good-nature, every member of the company came in for a share of ap...plause. Favors thus bestowed can hardly be said to be worth struggling for. It must have been with much heart-swelling and not easily concealed contempt that Signora C and her fel- low-artistes received the ovation that brought their first representation of " Carmen " in Palermo to a suc- cessful close.
The Palermitans, undoubtedly, are lovers of music. Many of them have a delicate musical sense, and some are instinctively good critics ; but it seems strange that music awakens in the bosoms of the lower sort of opera-goers passions that inspire acts and exhibitions of brutality that would do discredit to the sunny side of a Plaza de Toros.
