Inaugurated in 1969, the National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA) in Mumbai is India's premier cultural institution. The first multi-venue, multi-purpose cultural centre to be built in South Asia, it is committed to preserving and promoting India's cultural heritage and music, dance, theatre, film, literature, photography from over the world, as well as presenting new and innovative work in the field of the performing arts.
Playing host to over 600 performances annually, the NCPA is India's largest, most holistic performing arts centre. The NCPA was the brainchild of JRD Tata and Dr Jamshed Bhabha, two visionaries who saw India's need for an all-encompassing world-class performing arts centre. Built on land reclaimed from the sea, the NCPA today, approaching the fiftieth year of its existence, is one of Mumbai's best-known landmarks.
