Burlington Opry

Burlington Opry is a live-performance venue name tied to the Plaza Theater in Burlington, Kansas, at 404 Neosho St. The Plaza Theater was built in 1942, replacing an earlier 1941 theater destroyed in a flood, and was designed by architect Al Hauetter in the Moderne style. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. In 1990 the facility began to be operated as the Flint Hills Opry, a live performance space, and it was later operated as The Music Box Theatre, also a live performance space. The Burlington Opry name is associated with this venue lineage and with the regional country/opry performance tradition in Kansas. The venue's website is hosted at mokanopry.com, reflecting the broader Missouri-Kansas opry circuit. As a brand, Burlington Opry represents a local entertainment offering rather than a national consumer product line.
