amargosa opera house印象

This eerily placed opera house in the middle of a mighty desert brings to mind Herzog's film "Fitzcarraldo." Stopping by for a look is recommended.

We've lived in Las Vegas since 1968 and never been to Death Valley. Researching our trip we found this gem in the desert. We took the tour which was only 5.00 per person. Bob, our Tour Guide was very good at what he does. So good in fact we gave him a very nice tip afterwards.The story of Marta Becket and her Opera House is memorizing to say the least. The inside of the Opera House left us in awe.The Hotel is something to be experienced by only by those that can handle a very no frills room.Not television. No phone. No refrigerator. A bed. A chair. A lamp. A desk, is what you get.But you're paying to be a part of history even if it' only for a night. We stayed in Room 15. Ironically it was the same room that a YouTube video was filmed in regarding ghosts.Its scary dark at night but beautiful and romantic at the same time. The café is now closed permanently. You will have to bring food in with you as there is nothing but the Hotel and Opera House for many, many miles.There are no more performances as Marta just turned 90 and is unable to. A recent flood damage the wood floors of the Opera House so be cautious when visiting. We were in the middle of nowhere and loved every second of it.Thank you very much Bob and Amargosa Opera House & Hotel !!

We stopped at the cafe because it was in the middle of nowhere. Much to our hungry delight, it was very much worth the stop. It is recommended. We had a burger and an omelette. Stop in and support them. They are right on the road at Death Valley Junction.

A working opera house in the middle of the desert is unthinkable. That's what makes this so remarkable... a decade of commitment by a New York ballerina and artist that transformed an old mining town movie house into a cultural outpost. Marta Becket's impressive rendering of a packed balcony provides a colorful atmosphere that enhances present-day solo performances.Can't comment on the hotel since our tour didn't include an overnight stay.

If you are near the Amargosa Opera House go take the tour, it is definitely worth it! Stepping into the Opera House and seeing the murals for the first time is amazing, I could spend hours in there just looking at the murals covering the inside of the space. Marta Beckett is a true artist and it is fortunate for all of us that her passion has saved this amazing building!

Thisn is NOT a review of the hotel, but of the Opera House.At the corner of no-wehere and long-gone...Death Valley Junction and the Armagosa Opera House. It's quite a story and if you have the 30 minutes...and for five bucks, you can get a tour from SOB...Sweet 'ol Bob. A ladies dream..a love story..and the story lives on, in-as-much as she still lives in the area. It's an amazing vision, really.

Get a personal $5 tour of the opera house where Marta Becket created her own dance theater. The inside is covered with murals that Marta, now 90, painted herself. Here the wonderful story of an achievement that could only be a Western classic story. Also visit the Railroad Museum on Tues. and Sat. at the same location. There is also a hotel on premises which is operational. Look for wild horses on premises!

The painting inside of the opera house have to been seen. One of the finest displays that I have ever seen. Took my granddaughter to watch Marta dance & perform. Tom, Marta's partner gave us a tour of the music room/museum, in addition to looking at the walls inside the opera house. If you're going to view a performance, make reservations or arrive early. You wouldn't imagine that some place is such a desolate location could be sold-out, but, it goes happen. The is food available across the highway.

Why this Opera House is here in the middle of nowhere - in the middle of nothing is a story unto itself. But we did stop and were given almost delightful and informative tour by the host. Cost was only $5 per person so we decided to support the cause. The Opera House has recently had a flood that did a lot of damage but thankfully the murals are okay. The tour includes the whole story of Marta. Whether it is completely factual I don't know but it was a fun hour and I would recommend it to anyone who was in the area. Surprisingly we had to wait for a tour to complete before we could have our tour. The hotel lobby and dining room are great to explore while you wait.
