    Under a blistering Death Valley sun, Marta Becket resurrected the Amargosa Opera House with nothing but a paint brush and fierce devotion to her art. Marta lived in Death Valley until she was 92 years old, and though she is no longer with us, her legacy lives on in the art and spirit of the Opera House.
