GIACOMO ZAFARANO

Giacomo Zafarano began performing at a young age through in-school music and drama programs, and he counts Gene Kelly and Bugs Bunny as some of his earliest influences. His ballet training began with the Ballet de Santa Fe Youth Company under the direction of Endelecia Prince, and he went on to perform professionally in Las Vegas and in commercial, industrial, and theatrical venues across the United States. He currently performs with dance and theatre companies in New Mexico. Since joining BRT, he has been featured as Prince Sigfreid in Swan Lake and Romeo in Romeo & Juliet and Other Games of the Heart and has performed in The Nutcracker, Seasons, and Elementals. Giacomo earned a B.A. in Linguistics from the University of New Mexico, and he continues to expand his intellectual, athletic, and artistic boundaries through the performing arts.
