The Passion 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 open-air stage framed by magnificent alpine scenery. A covered auditorium has almost 5,000 seats.

Oberammergau is a humble village wrapped year-round in the atmosphere of the Passion Play. The town has a pervasive peacefulness untouched by 21st-century hubbub. Its hotels are like country inns, cozy and comfortable, reflecting the modesty of the village.

Not all Tour Operators have hotel space in the lovely town of Oberammergau. Globus offers convenient accommodations in the town center, which include rooms with private bath or shower. Please note that there are no single rooms, and guests traveling alone are required to share in Oberammergau.  All Globus guests enjoy first-class seats to the performance. Globus will also have an operating office in Oberammergau, ensuring that everything will run smoothly.

Witness this once in a lifetime event

Ok so the single biggest question we are getting is WHEN WILL WE BE ABLE TO BOOK. That's a good question. There is a 4 day package, river cruises and select itineraries that can now be booked. Groups can also block space. All suppliers promise to have final dates and prices by October 31, 2008. Even these companies however, allow you to book now to secure the space and will advise of final pricing by 10/31. We have a dedicated website for all the tours available for the Oberammergau Passion Play.
