Vi var til forestilling på
Amargosa Operahus. Det ligger midt i ørkenen i Death Valley
Junction, en spøgelsesby som oprindeligt hed Amargosa.
Bygningen var mellem 1924 og 1948 forsamlingshus, og blev kaldt
Corkill Hall. Den forladte bygning blev overtaget i 1967 af Broadway
sanger og danserinde Marta Becket og hendes mand, og lavet til hotel
og teater. Hun har selv optrådt her siden 1968. Hun
optræder stadigvæk hver lørdag aften i en alder af
82 år. |
We went to a performance at the
Amargosa Opera House. It is in the middle of the desert in Death
Valley Junction, a ghost town originally called Amargosa. The
building was between 1924 and 1948 a social hall known as Corkill
Hall. The abandoned building was taken over in 1967 by Broadway
singer and dancer Marta Becket and her husband, and turned into a
hotel and theater. She has performed here since 1968. At age 82 she
still performs on Saturday nights. |
