To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For my own part, since I am anything but a prejudiced op- ponent of whatever ideals seem to make for aesthetic enlargement, I cheerfully grant that these instances are very far from proving the case against English opera: they simply show what it is ca- pable of at its worst. Also they serve to point an essential distinction which should be made, but which seldom is made, by those who discuss this perennial question. They who talk of "opera in English" are apt to confuse two totally different t...hings: operas written to orig- inal English texts, and operas sung with texts translated from the German or French or Italian into the vernacular.
