What reading level is The Russian Opera book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The opera opens with a prologue in which the people are gathered in the courtyard of the many-towered monastery of Novo-Dievichy at Moscow, whither Boris had withdrawn after the assassination of the Tsarevich, The crowd moves to and fro in a listless fashion ; it hardly knows why it is there, but hopes vaguely that 236 THE RUSSIAN OPERA the election of a new ruler may bring some amelioration of its sad lot. Meanwhile the astute Boris shows no unseemly haste to snatch at the fruit of his crime. ...The simplicity and economy of means with which Moussorgsky produces precisely the right musical atmosphere is very striking. The constable enters, and with threats and blows galvanises the weary and indifferent throng into supplications ad- dressed to Boris. The secretary of the Duma appears, and announces that Boris refuses the crown ; the crowd renews its entreaties. When the pilgrims enter, the people wake to real life, pressing around them, and showing that their enthusiasm is for spiritual rather than for temporal things.
