In the history of Konkani Tiatros, what the late melodious singer Alfred
Rose has done for the promotion and spread of Konkani, very few Tiatrists have
done. According to my information, in Mapusa there is going to come up a big
complex where the provision is made to have a big hall for the Tiatros. It is
going to be the Government of Goa venture.
In the past Mapusa was to stage all the Tiatros where a big number of
attendees used to attend every show at
the Narvenkakar's “Mattou”, opposite to the Police Station. Since the last so many years, in the absence
of the big hall with all the provisions and amenities, Mapusa become the dull
place for watching the Tiatros in the present hall that lacks so many
facilities which otherwise are a must.
Hence, it is imperative now to construct the new Hall at Mapusa which
will cater to the needs not only of
Mapusa people but more than that of the people from surrounding places and
villages as well.
Since it is certain to come up this hall in Mapusa, I feel befitting to
his credentials and also in view of his tremendous contribution in the development
of Goan Tiatros and Goan music, the new hall should be named after this genius,
the late ALFRED ROSE whose melodious golden voice even attracted innumerable
Marathiwadis towards Konkani especially during those turbulent days immediately following the invasion of Goa. In fact, the beautifully sweet voiced
singer the late ALFRED ROSE attracted many of the Marathiwadi fanatics towards
Konkani and thus increased the number of
Konknnivadis that helped us to win the Opinion Poll.
In view of this, I request the concerned authorities once again to name this hall after the late ALFRED ROSE who being a proud Bardezcar, carry more weight in this proposal since Mapusa also falls in Bardez and moreover Mapsa is the capital of Bardez.
