Below are a variety of tours including our ONCE every TEN years Passion Play in Oberammergau

OBERAMMERGAU 2010

The quaint village of Oberammergau is world famous for its spectacular Passion Play, performed by the locals just once a decade.

In 1634 the Black Death decimated Europe’s population. Oberammergau remained untouched until a homesick villager returned one night, unknowingly bringing with him the dreaded plague. Almost 100 villagers died as a result.   Frightened survivors vowed that if God saved them from the plague, once every 10 years they would reenact the agony and crucifixion of Christ. From then on there were no further deaths from the plague—and the villagers have fulfilled their pledge ever since. We invite you to experience this legendary event on one of the special vacations being offered in 2010. 2010 may sound far off, but we have begun to gather numbers of interested groups. Please mark this renowned event on your future calendar.

The play portrays the Passion of Christ—from the entry into Jerusalem to the Resurrection. Performances are held in the afternoon and evening with an included dinner break in between. The play usually consists of more than 2,000 actors, singers, musicians, and technicians with rehearsals starting at least a year before the event.

The Passion Play Theater has an openair stage framed by magnificent alpine scenery. A covered auditorium has almost 5,000 seats.
