Discover the Iconic Coronado Performing Arts Center
Known as “Rockford’s Crown Jewel,” the Coronado Performing Arts Center is one of the most cherished cultural landmarks in northern Illinois. This opulent theater first opened its doors in 1927, a product of the golden era of movie palaces. Designed in a magnificent blend of Art Deco, Spanish Moorish, and Italian Baroque styles, the Coronado Theatre was originally built as a vaudeville and movie house. Today, after undergoing extensive renovations and historic preservation efforts, it serves as a world-class performing arts venue, delighting audiences with Broadway shows, live music, comedy, and symphony performances.
Located in the heart of downtown Rockford, the Coronado has hosted legendary performers, including Frank Sinatra, Bob Hope, Tony Bennett, and more recently, artists such as Jason Mraz and the Rockford Symphony Orchestra. From its intricate gilded ceilings to its crystal chandeliers and hand-painted murals, every detail of the Coronado Performing Arts Center exudes elegance, history, and charm.
Whether you're visiting for a Broadway tour, a stirring orchestra concert, or a headline comedy act, the Coronado promises an unforgettable evening of entertainment in one of the Midwest’s most iconic theaters.
