They are two different things.
Promotor is sequence which is part of each gene, or transcription unit. It contains some conserved sequences, which are different for each species.
Operon is special transcription unit, which is controlled by concentration of the substance which is influenced by the gene. For example, Trp operon is controlled by the level of tryptophane in cytosol. Lac operon is controlled by concentration of lactose and glucose in cytosol.
Hope that helps.
