Light Opera is less demanding form of operatic theater. Incorporates spoken words. Appeals to a broader audience. Still requires operatic voices and live orchestra.
Opera is an art form in which singers and musicians perform a dramatic work combining text called a librettomusical score. Opera started in Italy at the end of the 16th century and soon spread through thr rest of Europe and is highly stylized, it has set conventions of form and performance ,realism is not the guiding light and, story lines can be somewhat thin.
Musical theatre is a form of theatre combining songs, spoken dialogue and dance. The emotional content of the piece – humor,pathios, love, anger – as well as the story itself, is communicated through the words, music, movement and technical aspects of the entertainment as an integrated whole. Although musical theatre overlaps with other theatrical forms such as opera, it may be distinguished by the equal importance given to the music as compared with the dialogue, movement and other elements of the works.
