The Ballet-Master's Dream (1903) watch online

Le Rêve du maître de ballet, sold in the United States as The Ballet-Master's Dream and in Britain as The Dream of the Ballet Master, is a 1903 French silent trick film by Georges Méliès. It was sold by Méliès's Star Film Company and is numbered 525–526 in its catalogues.

Méliès plays the ballet master; the American catalogue description credits Zizi Papillon as the eccentric dancer. Papillon was a stage performer featured at the Folies Bergère and at the Casino de Paris. The special effects are created using substitution splices, multiple exposures, and dissolves.

A paper print of the film survives at the Library of Congress.
