Event Description

Rangavalli, Mysore's iconic play, 'Paarshwa Sangeetha' will be staged at Ranga Shankara. The play is a part of Ranga Shankara's 'Return to Theatre' campaign and is supported by the Goethe-Institut/ Max Mueller Bhavan.

'Paarshwa Sangeetha' is directed by Prashanth Hiremath and adapted to stage by B P Arun. The play is based on the writings of renowned Kannada author Srinivasa Vaidya. The play has a stellar ensemble cast, featuring Rajkapoor, Sukhdev Tejaswi, Murali Gundanna, Poornachandra, Shalmali Hiremath, Manjunatha Shasthri, Shwetha Mahadev, Vinay Kashyap, Geetha Paduvaralli, Manju, Siri Sinchana, Manju Mangala, Pradeep, Chaithra Nagaraj, Gururaj, and Manju Gangavathi, among others.

'Paarshwa Sangeetha' narrates author Srinivasa Vaidya's association with timeless melodies of Hindi films.

It also pays tribute to legendary singers like Talat Mehmood, Sehgal, Rafi, and Lata Mangeshkar, whose songs have tugged at the heartstrings of many generations.
