A light operetta is a type of musical theater production that blends comedic elements with music, dance, and dialogue. It typically features lighthearted and humorous storylines, often focusing on romantic entanglements or social satire. Light operettas were popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries, with composers like Gilbert & Sullivan and Franz Lehár known for their contributions to the genre.
A traffic light is a light source as it emits light to signal drivers when to stop, slow down, or go.
A red light will be needed to combine with magenta light to produce green light. Green light is the complementary color to magenta, so by mixing red light with magenta light, the result will be green light.
Mixing red light and blue light produces magenta light.
White light is a combination of all colors of light. To obtain white light, blue light can be combined with red and green light in specific proportions. Red light and green light mixed with blue light create an additive color mixture that results in white light.
Source light is light coming directly from a light source/emitter (i.e. a light bulb, the sun, stars, etc.). Reflected light is light coming indirectly from the light source/emitter. That could be reflected, refracted light, etc.
An operetta is a type of light opera. An opera-bouffe is a special type of operetta that was specifically introduced by Jacques Offenbach.

A musical comedy can be thought of as a play with music and dancing, or as a light Opera or operetta with dialog.
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.
