Zoraiya, the Moorish Girl in Spain (AKA Zoraiya) is a grand ballet in 4 acts/7 scenes, with choreography by Marius Petipa and music by Léon Minkus.

The ballet was first presented by the Imperial Ballet on February 1/13 (Julian/Gregorian calendar dates), 1881 at the Imperial Bolshoi Kamenny Theatre in St. Petersburg, Russia.

[edit] Notes

  • The Grand Pas des Toreadors & the Valse Fantastique from this ballet were interpolated by the Balletmaster Alexander Gorsky into his 1900 restaging of Petipa's Don Quixote for the Ballet of the Moscow Imperial Bolshoi Theatre. Gorsky's version was staged for the Imperial Ballet in 1903. These numbers are still retained in just about every production of that ballet today.
