  Summary

  Operetta is a form of theatre and a genre of light opera....It is lighter than opera in terms of its music, orchestral size, and length of the work. Apart from its shorter length, the operetta is usually of a light and amusing character. The subject matter may portray "lovers' spats, mistaken identities, sudden reversals of fortune, and glittering parties." It sometimes also includes satirical commentaries.

  In other words, Simon goes to work at Now Next Industries.
