        Suvarnalata Rao, programming head for Indian music: Rao came to the NCPA 31 years ago as a research student. One of her fondest memories is a concert from 1997, celebrating 50 years of India’s Independence.“At the stroke of midnight, we lit the Tata Theatre with lamps, while Ravi Shankar played,” she says. “It was surreal. He played ‘Saare jahaan se achcha’, the iconic song which for which he had composed the music.”
        
        n addition to the Library’s main catalogue, the NCPA houses the world-famous Stuart-Liff Collection of 6,000 books and 11,000 LPs on Western classical music. This collection was generously donated to the Centre in 2009 by Mr Vivian Liff and is an invaluable source for research by musicologists and students as well as for general music lovers.
        The book collection includes the autobiographies or biographies of almost every important Western classical music singer from the 18th century up to the present. Also included are books on composers, opera houses worldwide, recordings and all facets of vocal and instrumental art, covering roughly the same period.
        
        There are a total of 90 parking spaces available at the NCPA for audience members only. Vehicles that are driven or parked on the NCPA site are strictly at the risk of the owner.
