A musical or an Opera.

A Ballet is a story set to dance (and music of course)

A musical, on the other hand, includes spoken lines with song and dance added in through the story. (there are exceptions of course)

An Opera is a story told through song and intense emotion. ( "melodramatic")

These are, of course, very basic examples, and the lines get blurred.

Why did Richard Wagner call his works Music Dramas rather than Operas?

there is a continuous musical flow within each act. there are no breaks where applause can interrupt. the vocal line is inspired by the rhythms and pitches of the German text. They are called music dramas because the story is told as much by the orchestra as by the text, through Wagner's system of leading motives and identifying themes for each character. Wagner felt that operas before him were just music set to words, and he wanted the music itself to tell the story.
