Audley Travel Launches Bespoke Itinerary Inspired by the Once-in-a-Decade Performance of Oberammergau Passion Play
To mark the release of the once-every-decade performance of Oberammergau Passion Play in 2030, tailormade tour operator Audley Travel has created a new itinerary to bring the play's surroundings to life for clients travelling to Germany and Austria.
The notoriously popular, sell-out show is a community event which has been performed since 1633 in 10-year increments, with the story of Christ's passion, death and resurrection during his final days told by the villagers of Oberammergau (located just outside of Munich). Evolving from a one-off performance to a seasonal run, a showing is now available to include as part of a bespoke trip with Audley Travel for 2030, travelling between 18 May and 6 October.
Audley recommends pairing the viewing of this bucket-list Passion Play experience in the Bavarian Alps with a wider European tour exploring the history of Munich, the stunning lakes and alpine landscapes of Austria, as well as key cities Salzburg and Innsbruck.
Highlights include:
Watching the 43rd world-renowned Passion Play in Oberammergau, with an intermission dinner during the performance
Luxury accommodation staying in Oberammergau or surrounding Bavarian villages for an immersive experience
Unearthing Munich's complex political history
Breathing in the fresh Alpine air of Innsbruck nestled in the Austrian Alps
Discovering Mozart's hometown of Salzburg
