Gauhar is a moving theatrical tribute to Gauhar Jaan, India’s first recorded voice and one of the earliest icons of Indian music. At a time when women performers faced social restrictions, Gauhar Jaan emerged as a bold and pioneering artist who transformed Indian classical music and performance.
Inspired by My Name is Gauhar Jaan, the play traces her journey from a gifted young performer to a celebrated cultural figure whose voice reached audiences far beyond traditional concert spaces. With the advent of recording technology in India, she became the first artist to record on gramophone, forever changing how music was experienced and shared across the country.
The production combines powerful storytelling with historical context to portray Gauhar Jaan not only as a legendary musician, but also as a woman of courage, independence, and artistic conviction. A key highlight of the performance is its live classical singing, which recreates the musical richness of the era and immerses audiences in the soundscape that made her iconic.
Gauhar is more than a biographical play—it is a celebration of creativity, resilience, and cultural legacy, offering audiences an inspiring glimpse into the life of an artist who reshaped the history of Indian music.Book Now!
