About National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA)

The National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA) is a multi-venue cultural centre at the tip of Nariman Point, founded in 1969 by J. R. D. Tata and Dr Jamshed Bhabha and built on land reclaimed from the sea. It has five theatres: the 1,109-seat Jamshed Bhabha Theatre for opera, ballet and musicals; the 1,010-seat Tata Theatre, opened in 1982 and known for its acoustics and revolving stage; the 300-seat Experimental Theatre; the 200-seat Godrej Dance Theatre; and the 114-seat Little Theatre. It is the home of the Symphony Orchestra of India, established in 2006. The calendar covers Indian and Western classical music, jazz, theatre in several languages, dance and film. In 2026 it hosts the Mumbai LitFest on 23–25 October and the NCPA International Jazz Festival on 20–22 November.

Frequently asked questions

How do I reach NCPA by train or metro?

Take the Western Line to Churchgate and a taxi or bus for the last 1.5 km down Marine Drive, or the Aqua Line (Metro Line 3) to Vidhan Bhavan, about 1 km away.

How many theatres does NCPA have?

Five: the Jamshed Bhabha Theatre (1,109 seats), Tata Theatre (1,010), Experimental Theatre (300), Godrej Dance Theatre (200) and Little Theatre (114).

What kind of events are held at NCPA?

Tips before you go

Check which of the five theatres your show is in before you set off; they have separate entrances within the complex.
No suburban station is at the door. From Churchgate take a taxi or bus down Marine Drive, or use the Aqua Line's Vidhan Bhavan station, the closest metro stop.
Many listings show a lower price for NCPA members, who also get priority booking, so popular concerts can sell out before the public sale gets far.
Arrive 20–30 minutes early. Classical concerts and plays generally start on time, and latecomers may be asked to wait for a suitable break.
