In the spring of 1967, Marta Becket, our Death Valley Diva, peered into the old theater that would become the Amargosa Opera House and knew that she was meant to perform there. She began what would become years of painstaking work, painting an entire audience on the walls, filled with characters who might have attended an opera back in 16th century Spain. It took four years to complete the murals on the walls. For the following two summers she stood every day on the scaffold painting a blue sky filled with cherubs, clouds, the four winds, and a central dome with 16 ladies playing antique instruments.
Marta performs ballet and pantomime in this theater, which is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places. Her performances are every Saturday night, and on Monday and Saturdays during spring months.
To log this cache as a find, post a photo of yourself with your GPSr in front of the mural in the hotel office which depicts what the Opera House and the hotel compound will look like when the desert once again takes over. Note the spirit of Marta in the upper right corner of the mural. The photo must be posted on your log in order to claim a find.
