Why is Tales of Hofmann an operetta?

The Tales of Hoffmann (Les Contes d'Hoffmann) by Offenbach is generally considered an opera, not an operetta.I say "generally" because the opera became successful after the death of Offenbach and its contents and even its structure are up for discussion. That means that the performance you might see in one city mught be very different from the one you'd see in another. So the "treatment" a theater gives to the work would either put it more in the operaetta camp or the opera camp.During his life, Offenbach was famous for his operettas which is why some folks treat Hoffmann more like an operetta than an opera.Offenbach himself considered it an opera; he purposely wrote it as such because he was afraid his operettas wouldn't last.
