musical, opera maybe?
A singspiel is basically a stage play with songs and sometimes dances added. A ballad opera is the same, with popular songs and ballads added. Intermedi were spectacles of music and sometimes dance presented between the acts of plays. In grand opera and music drama the dialogue is sung. So the answer is that a singspiel is closest to a ballad opera.
Basically - Grand opera contains no spoken dialogue, every thing is sung; a Light Opera contains both sung and spoken dialogue
