The entrance plaza of the Teatro de la Zarzuela in Madrid will be named after the legendary mezzo-soprano Teresa Berganza.

The mezzo, who passed away last year, was well-known for performing at the famed theater.

According to Platea Magazine, the Board of Governors with the approval for the district made the naming possible. The new plaque with the name “Berganza” will be revealed in March.

Berganza was famous for her interpretations of the Italian opera repertoire as well as Spanish song and zarzuela. In 1991, she was awarded the Prince of Asturias Award and was also the recipient of the Grand Prix Rossini, the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2018 International Opera Awards, and the Gold Medal of Merit in Fine Arts from Spain.

Berganza also became the first woman elected into the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando. She is also set to be named “Hija Predilecta” of Madrid. She performed at every major opera house in the world.
