About the work

La flûte magique (lit. 'The Magic Flute'; Russian: Волшебная флейта, romanized: 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.
