Zoraiya

Zoraiya

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 Ludwig 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.

Notes

*The "Grand pas des toréadors" from this ballet were interpolated by the Balletmaster Alexander Gorsky into his 1902 restaging of Petipa's "Don Quixote" for the Imperial Ballet. This number are still retained in every production of that ballet today.
