I am not a fan of Operetta, this because of my love and deep respect for Opera, the Operetta has one aim and that is to amuse, the trivial and frivial and the music the same, also I add the British resorted to Operetta because they are devoid of soul and passion and have NEVER produced ONE Opera that is not embarrassing and excruciating and so they have Gilbert and Sullivan which I would not wish my worst enemy to have to listen to.

Perhaps it is you who is devoid of soul and passion.
Or perhaps just a pretentious and phony snob.
Americans typically refer to operettas as musical comedy or ‘musicals’.
Although operetta is an older form.
