HMS Pinafore or The Yeoman of the Guard (8)

I believe the answer is:

operetta

(Other definitions for operetta that I've seen before include "Light classical music comedy-drama" , "piece of music?" , "Eg, Die Fledermaus" , "Light opera" , "Theatre piece" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
