An operetta a light or humourous theme. It was simply a way of differentiating between Grand Opera and Light Opera.
I wouldn't class the theme of Les Mis, Miss Saigon or Phantom as light or humourous. They are operas in the true sense of the word.


Yes, but that has evolved from the beginning of the use of the word operetta. Opera originated in serious topics then opera buffe came along. If comparing Operettas to opera, then subject would be the defining differentiation. Operetta vs Musicals is more of a distinction behind the structure than just content. there is interspersed dialogue rather than just recitative but it focuses more on the acting and singing rather than requiring the principles to do a lot of dance. Musicals feature dancing from all characters and allow for a different style of singing. Operettas still feature primarily belle canto singing.

I could go into this all day long! I love the subject and evolution of vocal arts. this was probably my favorite section of my music theater courses.

Favorite Broadway or Movie Musical?

For example: I adore Phantom of the Opera


I watched Phantom of the Opera on TV last night. It was excellent. I've seen it on the stage too. That was also an excellent production. The chandelier scene was breathtaking.
West Side Story
Has to be Oliver.

Also Chitty Chitty Bang Bang & Wizard of Oz
toss up between Calamity Jane and Wizard if Oz. Favourite Westend Performance was seeing probably Les Miserable
If I told you my favorite musical I'd have to tell you what my favorite breakfast cocktail and summer salad are as well.
That is a near impossible question for me as I love musical theater. My tendency though is to like the ones with the greatest number of great songs, and almost ignore the theatrical portion. I know it is one of The King and I, Les Miserables, Fiddler on the Roof, and Music Man of course.
Here are some more I'll add to my first post...

Once More With Feeling
Rocky Horror
The Music Man
A Hard Day's Night (does that count?)
The Blues Brothers ( " )
Seven Brides For Seven Brothers

Fiddler on the Roof and Saw Aida in NY awesome. Written by Elton John and Tim Rice. Great great show
Oliver was a wonderful production would loved to have seen it when Rowan Atkinson (mr bean)played Fagin

Also enjoyed west side story.....
South Pacific my dad took me to see it when I was a kid.
Oh God, you're gonna' make me choose?!

If I had to pick the top 10, I'd be here for hours!

Whoever asked this originally is some kind of demented sadist, man!

In other news, I should probably get some sleep.... The effects are showing...

I agree whole heartedly...

When I was growing up, my parents took me to see the stage version of Beauty and the Beast in London. I don't really remember many of the songs, but I do remember the whole experience being quite magical.

I've seen plenty of film versions of musicals, but that's the only one I've seen live.
