What reading level is Stars of the Opera: a Description of Twelve Operas And a Series of Personal Sketches, With ... book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
ii6 " Carmen ' "CARMEN." Every one likes " Carmen. " Its popular- ity has been ascribed to the fact that " the action explains itself to the eye." One might also add that the music explains itself to the ear, for the themes are all unfurled and displayed like so many banners. In choosing M6rim6e*s novel for a libretto, Bizet recognized the growing demand for dramatic plots with rapid action — a demand which has since evolved such one-hour tragedies as " Cavalleria Rusticana ** and " I Pagliacci.... * ' Aside from the stirring romance and fascinating music, " Carmen " also pre- sents very delightful stage-pictures. The suburbs of Seville form an interesting set- ting, and the characters all require brilliant costumes. A bull-fighter, two smugglers, three gypsies, cigarette girls, and soldiers — not a plain individual among them !
119 STARS OF THE OPERA.
Before meeting these unusual personages we are presented with a letter of introduc- tion from Bizet, which, because it is written in musical notation, the orchestra kindly interprets to us.
