After a little research, I discovered that a play is basically any dramatic composition meant to be performed in a theater, movie, TV, radio, etc. An Opera is, more specifically, a dramatic composition (a play) where music is used predominantly; they're also usually very elaborate.

Another thing we can add is that operas are usually performed live in theaters, while musicals can be live, or movies.
