It also presents new and innovative work in the performing arts field. The Centre was founded in 1969 by JRD Tata and Dr. Jamshed Bhabha,[1] (brother of nuclear physicist Homi Jehangir Bhabha). The NCPA is also the home of the Symphony Orchestra of India, which was established by NCPA in 2006.[2] In 2010 the orchestra performed Beethoven's 9th Symphony in Moscow at the 5th World Symphony Orchestra Festival - the first time an orchestra from India had performed there. Principal aims and objectives
TheatresThe NCPA complex occupies an area of about {{convert|32000|m2|ft2}} at Nariman Point, on land reclaimed from the sea. It has 5 theatres in its premise, each catering to a unique genre of performing arts Jamshed Bhabha Theatre, From large format orchestras to full-scale operas, the most technically complex performances can be staged at this Proscenium theatre with a seating capacity of 1,109. Named after the founder, and operational since 1999, its technical facilities allow for international productions of opera, ballet and major musicals. This well-equipped, elegant theatre also boasts of a historic marble staircase and a dazzling double-level foyer. The entire staircase was transplanted from another location; more as an art object or architectural folly. It is, undoubtedly, the cornerstone for theatrical extravaganzas staged in South Asia. Tata Theatre, This distinctive space that can seat 1,010 is the best of both worlds. It effortlessly combines the intimate ambience of a small-scale venue with the splendour of a full scale arena. A revolving stage, brilliant acoustics and a foyer with a scenic view of the sea are just some of the things that make the Tata Theatre the venue of choice for both, performers and audiences.Created by the renowned American Modernist architect Philip Johnson ( concept part) Rustom Patell-Patell Batliwala & Associates principal designer and the legendary acoustician Cyril Harris, this theatre opened in 1982. Today, it is Mumbai's preferred venue for Indian classical concerts, Western chamber music and theatre. Experimental Theatre, As flexible as its name, this theatre opened in 1986 and has 300 movable seats which allow it to be configured to suit a range of events. Its unique 'black box' auditorium is the perfect platform for innovative theatre productions as well as small-scale dance and music performances. It also doubles up as a teaching and workshop space. Other facilities
PerformancesThroughout the years NCPA hosted many performances including classical, traditional and contemporary performing arts in dance, theatre, and music.

Subbulakshmi, Birju Maharaj, Kelucharan Mohapatra, Savitha Sastry, Mani Madhava Chakyar, Shakuntala, Smita Patil, Parveen Sultana and Shabana Azmi.[3] NCPA has also attracted many international performers including Yehudi Menuhin, Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, Navoi Bolshoi Ballet of Uzbekistan,[4] Marcel Marceau, Barber of Seville opera, production of Jane Eyre,[3] and other British Council commissioned theatre productions.[5] In 2006, New Jersey Ballet staged India's first full-length classical ballet with its Nutcracker production.[6][7] In 2016, NCPA in association with Shapoorji Pallonji Group, co-produced Mughal-e-Azam, a Broadway-style musical based on the 1960 Bollywood film Mughal-e-Azam, which was directed by K. Asif and produced by Shapoorji Pallonji.[8] See also
