The community, once a dusty mining, railroad, and mill town, was known as Amargosa, after the desert valley that surrounds it. A recreation hall at the northeast end of the complex eventually become the 'Amargosa Opera House,' decorated with elaborate wall illustrations such as this one. In July of 1968, Marta Becket, an acclaimed New York dancer, mime, actress, and an accomplished painter took charge of what she called the Opera House. She performed there regularly through early 2012 after painstakingly painting images of an entire audience on the walls, including characters who might have attended an opera the 16th century, from royalty to bullfighters, monks and nuns, and ordinary observers.
