This is funny, rather a silly question. Have you ever seen The Bold and the Beautiful? That there is what they call a Soap Opera ( a show with no acting skills, story lines that go forever) Soap Opera are the shows that you can watch one day and not watch for a few weeks turn it back on and have not missed a thing :) Really good story, like Home and Away, Neighbors so on and stories that get you hooked and don't drag on but make you want to watch it every night.
an opera is normally full on singing and more of a simple story line a musical is more acting with music and a more complex story line
An opera is a play set to music with props costumes scenery and lighting. It is usually peformed by an orchestra, soloists and chorus, whilst a play is just a drama, a story. A play is an acted out story with spoken scenes. A play with singing scattered between spoken scenes is a musical or operetta. An opera is a play in which all words are sung.

there really is NOT A DIFFERENCE, PEOPLE WOULD JUST SAY THERE IS TO HAVE TWO EXPLANATIONS, LIKE TWO SIDES OF A STORY
Because it's a story about a sociopath living under an opera house and who has created for himself an imago of a phantom and had everyone believe the opera house is really haunted.
Opera has little to no speaking. Most the time, no talking whatsoever, all singing. A play, I assume you mean musical, has much more of a script. The scores' music only interjects throughout the story, instead of carrying it. Musical Theatre requires a major acting background, Opera requires an extensive singing background.
A story can be true or not where as a tale is not true.
an opera ballet is an opera that incorporates ballet dancing in part to tell the story of the opera

The 'libretto' is the words or story of the opera.
Opera is a drama to be sung with instrumental accompaniment [there can be recitative or spoken dialogue between numbers]by one or more singer in costume while acting-out the story.
