Oberammergau 2010

About the Passion Play, Oberammergau 2010, Bavarian Alps

In 1634 when the Black Death was ravaging all of Europe, the picturesque village of Oberammergau remained unaffected, until a homesick villager retuned and unknowingly brought the infection with him. As nearly 100 of their neighbours died, the remaining villagers vowed to God that they would re-enact the Crucifixion of Christ every ten years, and from that moment on there were no more casualties.

The villagers have kept their pledge, and in 2010 you will again be able to watch the Passion Play, performed on an open-air stage, amidst some of the most spectacular mountain scenery anywhere in Europe.

The 2000 actors are all from the village, and by the beginning of the season they will have been rehearsing for well over a year to give you a memorable spectacle, which, together with a large choir and an orchestra performing music especially composed for the play, all adds to a truly unique experience.

As one of the UK’s leading tour operators we are pleased to be able to offer you this once in a lifetime experience, and for your added enjoyment we have combined the Passion Play with a holiday in the Austrian Tyrol, an area of wonderful scenery with its snow-capped mountain peaks, pine-clad hills and stunning crystal-clear lakes.
