The Coates Opera House was a prominent performing arts venue and cultural landmark in Kansas City, Missouri[1] from its founding in 1870 to its destruction in a fire in 1901.[2] It was built by Kersey Coates, a local hotelier. The House was the first legitimate theater in Kansas City.[3]
Heart and Sword, starring Walker Whiteside and Leilia Wolstan was the last performance in the theatre. [4]
Playwright and actor John A. Stevens managed the opera house for the 1871-72 and 1872-73 seasons (its second and third seasons).
