National Centre for the Performing Arts, a non-profit organization headquartered in India, was founded in 1969. With approximately 110 employees, the organization, also known as NCPA Mumbai, functions as a significant cultural institution in India.
The National Centre for the Performing Arts is currently featuring "Old World," an English play written by Aleksei Arbuzov, translated by Ariadne Nicolaeff, and directed by Arghya Lahiri, which premiered on June 12, 2026. Starring Naseeruddin Shah and Ratna Pathak Shah and produced by Motley, the play explores an extraordinary friendship between an eccentric woman and a taciturn doctor. Previously, on June 9, the NCPA Library presented a dramatized reading and discussion of "Bheja Fry" by Dr. Mazda Turel, a book that delves into insights medicine offers about the brain and human beings. Earlier, on May 25, the NCPA hosted "Aperitivo Italiano feat. Ida Altrove," an event featuring Italian jazz and soul with Alessandro Vuono on piano, Marco Rossin on sax, and Francesco Clemente on violin, performing Italian pop. This followed the May 22 announcement of "B For Beethoven," a special edition of the Artie’s Festival India, which will present the complete cycle of Beethoven’s string quartets in anticipation of the composer’s 200th death anniversary in 2027.
