Natya Sangeet

Natya Sangeet (Marathi: नाट्यसंगीत) is a form of Indian classical and semi-classical music. The name literally means Dramatic Music and the musical dramas are then called as Sangeet Natak. It is also one of the two popular forms of vocal arts in Maharashtra and surrounding states. The other one is Bhavageet.

History

Natya Sangeet is said to have originated in the state of Maharashtra in India. In 1879, Playwriter and producer Trilokekar independently presented his musical play Nal-Damayanti (नल-दमयंती) to Marathi public. It was the first musical play on Marathi stage. Later on Balwant Pandurang Kirloskar (or Annasaheb Kirloskar) staged his first musical play Shakuntal^[1] on October 31, 1880 which was based on Kalidas's play Abhijñānaśākuntalam.
