In 1633, the tiny Bavarian village of Oberammergau was held in the grip of the Great Plague. The villagers swore that if they lost no more inhabitants, they would stage a play every ten years depicting the suffering of Jesus Christ. The villagers fulfilled their oath in 1634 and have continued to do so almost uninterrupted ever since as an expression of their faith and gratitude. This holiday combines the beauty of the Austrian Tirol with the incredible spectacle of the Passion Play.

Taking place on a huge open-air stage against the backdrop of the magnificent Bavarian Alps, the auditorium itself is completely covered and seats almost 5,000 people. The cast is made up of around 2,000 amateur actors, all of whom must have lived in Oberammergau for at least 20 years. The play has become one of the world’s outstanding cultural events and, although the text and music have been adapted according to the times, the amateur performers’ original conception of tradition and the compelling oath have remained.
