Irina Zibrova - Gipsy Dance from Don Quixote

[avesraggiana]

Does anybody know the name of the number/variation performed in the Bolshoi Don Q that features one female soloist in a gypsy campfire setting (I think), performed to a very slow, hypnotic Ravel’s “Bolero”-type music? It’s a slow-burning, passionate and theatrically very, very effective variation, with slow walks, slinky arm movements and deep backbends. I searched for Don Q - Bolero and came up with something completely different.
