India’s premier cultural institution, the first multi-venue, multi-purpose cultural centre to be built in South Asia – the National Centre for Performing Arts (NCPA) or NCPA Mumbai was inaugurated in 1969. Since its inception it has been committed to promoting and preserving the country’s rich and vibrant traditions, be it music, dance or theatre. NCPA Mumbai also believes in encouraging and promoting new and inventive work in the field of the performing arts.
Located in the heart of Mumbai’s downtown business district, NCPA Mumbai has five modern theatres, a photography gallery and extensive archival and library facilities. It presents more than 500 events each year that include all major art forms from dance, drama, art, comedy to theatre, photography, exhibitions, workshops and much more.
Artists, regulars and the media together recognize it to be among Asia's leading locations for the performing arts.
The NCPA is also home to the SOI. India’s first fully professional symphony orchestra! The result of an ongoing collaboration between the NCPA and the internationally acclaimed Kazakh violinist, ...
... Marat Bisengaliev, who serves as the orchestra's Music Director. It is India's foremost western classical music ensemble.
Some of the best in their craft have been handpicked from across the world to play to the tunes of acclaimed Conductors.
