'''''Sangeet Natak''''' in [[Marathi language]] literally means [[Musical theatre|Musical Drama]]. As the name suggests, this form of [[drama]] combines [[prose]] as well as [[poetry]] in form of [[songs]] to convey the [[Narrative|story]]. In a manner, they are very much similar to [[Musical theatre|Musicals]]. ''Sangeet Natakas'' played a vital role in the development of Marathi theater and thus the [[Marathi cinema]] as well as [[Indian film industry]].<ref>[[#Ash|Kasbekar, p. 52]]</ref> Sangeet Natak start with praise of [[Natraj|Lord Natraja]] which is called as ''Naandi'' or ''Mangalaacharan'' or ''Suchakpad'' usually the famous one "Panchatunda Nararundamaldhar" from ''Sangeet Shakuntal''. They are popular for use of [[Indian classical music]]. The "Dramatic Music" is called '''Natya Sangeet''', one of the two popular forms of vocal arts in [[Maharashtra]] and surrounding states. The other is [[Bhavageet]].

==History==

===The beginning===
[[Vishnudas Bhave]] is considered the founder of Marathi theater. In 1843, his group staged the first public performance of Marathi play ''Seeta Swayamvar'' (सीता स्वयं‍वर). The integration of music in the dramas took place quite late in 1879 when [[play writer]] and [[Producer (film)|producer]] Trilokekar presented his musical play Nal-Damayanti (नल-दमयंती). It was the first musical play on Marathi stage.

But only when Balwant Pandurang Kirloskar (popularly known as [[Annasaheb Kirloskar]]) staged his first musical play ''Shaakuntal'', based on [[Kālidāsa|Kalidas's]] play [[Abhijñānaśākuntalam]], on October 31, 1880 in [[Pune]] did the trend of Sangeet Natak really start.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kamat.com/indica/music/natya_sangeet.htm|title=Marathi Natya Sangeet|access-date=2006-07-02}}</ref> Kirloskar included 209 musical pieces in his ''Shaakuntal'' of 7 acts. They consisted of a mix of [[Hindustani classical music|Hindustani]] and [[Carnatic classical music]], and lighter music.

During its early period, Sangeet natak was dominated by religious plays like ''Sangeet Saubhdra'', which is legend in Marathi sangeet natak.{{citation needed|date=June 2013}} The trend changed with coming of sangeet Manapman, which depicts bravery of its hero Dheryadhar and his love with Bhamini which was written by [[Krushnaji Prabhakar Khadilkar]].

===Golden age===
The new trend of ''Sangeet Natakas'' caught up with the popularity quite quickly. With [[British Raj]] then existing in India, ''Sangeet Natakas'' were compared with the [[Opera]]s and thus local [[Marathi people|Marathi]] Indians found synonymous recreation. In the blooming times, Sangeet Natakas were mainly based on mythological stories of [[Mahabharata]] or [[Ramayana]] which would hence easily connect with the masses. They did not cover the complete epics but were limited to only small stories in them.

With popularity & success, experimentation started on stage with abandoning mythological themes and bringing social issues to audiences. ''[[Sangeet Sharada]]'', for example, by portraying the feelings of a teenage girl to be married to a widower in his late seventies, brought out a social message. Few dramas, like ''[[Krushnaji Prabhakar Khadilkar#Kichak Vadh|Kichak Vadh]]'', even agitated the [[British rule in India|British rulers]] to the extent that they were banned. ''Kichak Vadh'' compared the Britishers with ''Kichak'', an evil character from ''Mahabharata'' who tried to dishonour ''[[Draupadi]]''. ''Draupadi'' was then synonymous with the oppressed common Indian masses.

During the 1960s, another turn came in natya sangeet with the emergence of [[Jitendra Abhisheki]], who was credited with applying simplicity to the complex composition of Natya Sangeet.

===Plays===
The recent play Katyar Kaljat Ghusli by Zee studios opened up a new era of musical cinemas. This movie was based on the legendary play bearing the same name. Its music was composed by Jitendra Abhisekhi and sung by Vasantrao Deshpande.

==Notable contributions==
*[[Annasaheb Kirloskar]] who founded the Sangeet Natakas also offered other famous plays like ''Sangeet Saubhadra'' and ''Ramrajyaviyog''.

*[[Jaymala Shiledar]] (1926-2013) - Jaymala, her husband [[Jayaram Shiledar]] and daughters, [[Kirti Shiledar|Kirti]] and Lata kept Sangeet natak alive during the lean period of 1960s to 1990s. They staged 25 new musicals, including 'Ekhadyacha Nashib', Mumbaichi Manasa', 'Anantphandi', and Abhogi through their company, Marathi Rangabhoomi.
