operetta

Light form of opera, with music, dance, and spoken dialogue. The story line is romantic and sentimental, often employing farce and parody. Its origins lie in the 19th-century opéra comique and it is intended to amuse. Examples of operetta are Jacques Offenbach's Orphée aux enfers/Orpheus in the Underworld (1858), Johann Strauss' Die Fledermaus/The Flittermouse (1874), and Gilbert and Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance (1879) and The Mikado (1885).
