Operetta - 'little Opera' - Strictly a play with an overture, songs, dances etc. However it has become synonymous with 'light opera'. Operetta originally meant a short opera [17th century]. By 19th century it became associated with comic opera or any such like considered less 'serious' than operas. Most operettas can be described as 'light' operas - good examples are the works of Gilbert and Sullivan. Although as with all labels in music, the distinction has become blurred. Basically there is no difference between the scores for an opera and an operetta - except for the operetta's lightness.
