Amargosa Opera House

Originally constructed in the early 1920’s, the Amargosa Opera House was renovated in 1967 by Marta Becket. This historic building is located in Death Valley Junction, California- just under 2 hours from the Las Vegas Strip. Marta Becket painted the inside of the hall in the early 1970’s to look like a 16th century Spanish court, which can still be seen today. The opera house still hosts performances from October to May. Connected to the opera house is a cafe to grab lunch and a 16 room hotel, also featuring paintings by Becket.

See a 360 degree picture of the hall and more information on the property.
