Oberammergau Passion Play 2022
Become a part of history
Witness Oberammergau’s Passion Play in summer 2022.
Every 10 years since the 1600's, residents of the tiny Bavarian village of Oberammergau stage the Passion Play, a season of performances honouring the Passion of Christ. 2020 marks the 42nd season, with preparations for the open-air production already well underway. It’s a real community event – almost half of Oberammergau’s 5,000-odd residents get involved, designing sets, making costumes, acting and directing.
We’ve put together five unique itineraries incorporating a performance of the Passion Play, teaming this theatrical event with the mountain scenery and chocolate-box villages of Austria, Bavaria and Northern Italy.
A unique theatrical experience
It’s just over a year until Oberammergau’s famous Passion Play begins its 42nd season.
The roles have been assigned (Jesus will be played by an aerospace engineering student and a PR officer, while the part of Mary is shared between a sculptor and a stewardess), revision has begun and participants have started growing out their hair according to the ‘Hair Decree’.
The play will run for 20 weeks, with 103 performances played out to around 500,000 lucky visitors. It’s a real community affair – almost half of Oberammergau’s 5,000-odd residents get involved, designing sets, making costumes, acting and directing.
