GIACOMO ZAFARANO

Giacomo Zafarano began performing at a young age with 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. After graduating from the University of New Mexico with a B.A. in Linguistics, he performed professionally in Las Vegas and in commercial, industrial, and theatrical venues across the United States. Since joining BRT, he has danced featured roles in Swan Lake (Prince Siegfried) and Romeo & Juliet and Other Games of the Heart (Romeo), and has performed in The Nutcracker, Seasons, and Elementals. Giacomo is a licensed New Mexico real estate broker and continues to expand his intellectual, athletic, and artistic boundaries through the performing arts.
