Bavaria’s small town is set to perform its world-renowned play for the 42nd time
We are pleased to announce that we are now offering a full programme of holidays for 2020, giving travellers the opportunity to experience the 42nd Oberammergau Passion Play. This open-air stage performance takes place every 10 years in the tiny Bavarian village of Oberammergau and honours the suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Preparations are already underway and although 2020 may seem distant, the excitement and planning is already building for this next production. We are offering five unique itineraries with various departure dates, taking in iconic and scenic landscapes, all with included tickets to this special event. Don’t miss out, spaces are limited and witnessing this powerful spectacle only comes once every 10 years!
Wood-carving traditions -
Oberammergau has been known for centuries as a centre for wood carving. A tradition made by farmers who needed to find ways to earn extra income through the long winter months. Wood carvers who call themselves "Herrgottschnitzer" (God-carvers) are renowned for their skills. These pieces of art are made from an Arolla Pine, which grows in Baveria.
Passion Play 2010Tableaux vivants, a french term meaning "Living Pictures".
Tableaux vivants have helped to set Oberammergau’s Passion Play apart from other productions within this genre. When performing these snapshots, the actors wear extravagant costumes and jewellery, silently striking a pose for the duration of the scene, which is accompanied by a verbal description.
The Passion Play theatre accommodates more than 4,700 seats, all undercover, and provides excellent acoustics and views to the stage from all areas. Titan has no control over the exact location of the seats, although travelling with us means you will have guaranteed category B2 tickets as indicated on the stage plan.
