It was for the first time that Tiatr Day was celebrated at Mumbai. A grand function was organized with the support of Tiatr Academy at the Yeshwant Hall, Near Badal Bijili, Matunga(west), Mumbai at 7.45 pm.
On this occasion three artistes C Alvares, Prem Kumar and Romeo Mendes were posthumously awarded Life Time Achievement Awards for their outstanding work in the field of tiatr. The other artistes who were bestowed Life Time Achievement Awards were Ophelia Cabral D’Souza and Titta Pretto for their contribution to tiatr and Isidore Dantas for his dedicated services to Konkani language as a journalist and writer.
The entertainment programme comprised of songs, folk dances and a skit.
The septuagenarian Tragedy Queen Ophelia Cabral stunned the packed audience by rendering the patriotic song 'Pettoi Dive' for which she received a standing ovation.
This song was actually composed by late C.Alvares and was very popular on AIR. It is still being heard on FM Rainbow. There are two parts in this song...the first part 'Pettoi Diye' is sung by C.Alvares and Ophelia, as he joins the military and leave for war. The second part of the song is 'Zolmanchi Maim' when he returns hurt from the war....here are the lyrics of the songs
