La flûte magique (en. The Magic Flute) (ru. «Волшебная флейта», Volshebnaya Fleita) is a ballet comique in one act, originally choreographed by Lev Ivanov to the music of Riccardo Drigo. First presented by students of the Imperial Ballet School at the school's theatre on 4 February [O.S. 23 January] 1893. Although it has the same title as Mozart's opera The Magic Flute, the two works have no other connection.[1]
