Sylvia Zerbini, Grande Liberté Performer

Sylvia Zerbini is producer and director of this year’s Breyerfest evening performance, “Power of Your Dreams,” which she created exclusively for BreyerFest. This year’s show features thrilling performances from the horses of Cavalia that you won’t see anywhere else (available to all in-person ticket holders as well as online to 3-day virtual pass holders).

Sylvia, who’s known for her Arabians, will perform her signature Grande Liberté act. Look for 12 Arabians abreast in a mesmerizing display described as the “quintessential equestrian ballet.” Sylvia’s stunning Andalusian/Arabian stallion Rico, who became a 2019 Breyer portrait horse, will add enchantment.

A ninth-generation equine performer, Sylvia was born in Sarasota, Florida, and grew up with her parents on tour. She took to the air (trapeze!) as a girl, but horses were her passion. Sylvia has enchanted more than 10 million people throughout Europe, North America, and South America, since her stage debut at age 5.
