[10e] Name this antagonist played by ballerina Pierina Legnani in 1895. Her performance, choreographed by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov, originated the tradition for this antagonist to perform 32 fouettés en tournant (“fwet-TAYS on toor-NAWN”).

[10h] In 1968, this ballerina performed Odile’s 32 fouettés while remaining in a single tile on a checkerboard floor. In Theme and Variations, Igor Youskevitch and this partially-blind ballerina danced to Tchaikovsky’s Orchestral Suite No. 3.
ANSWER: Alicia Alonso [or Alicia Ernestina de la Caridad del Cobre Martínez del Hoyo]
