Standing majestically on the southern tip of Mumbai’s Marine Drive promenade, The National Centre for the Performing Arts, is India’s premier socio-cultural centre and perhaps the only one of its kind in Asia.
Gifted by The Sir Dorabji Tata Trust to Mumbai and India, the NCPA was established to preserve, facilitate and promote India’s rich art and cultural legacy. With 37 years of service to the performing and allied arts, the NCPA today plays host to social and cultural events of all kinds- including plays, concerts, films, readings, exhibits, dance performances, seminars, workshops, conferences and many more.
As a multi-faceted facility it has been witness to some of the most culturally significant events over the years. These include performances by prominent national and international artistes like Yehudi Menuhin, Zubin Mehta and Pandit Ravi Shankar.
Artists, critics and patrons alike have acknowledged it to be among the foremost venues for the performing arts.
