Once every ten years... since the 17th century... In Oberammergau, Germany – The Passion Play is performed.Make your plans now to join Tauck for one of the world's must-see events... Once every ten years the Passionsspiele (Passion Play), a dramatic recreation of the last days of Christ, is performed by 1,700 local residents of the small German town of Oberammergau. One of Germany's oldest festivals, the play was first performed 375 years ago; it's now performed every ten years at the start of a new decade. The year 2010 promises to be one of the most important seasons as it marks the end of the first decade of the new millennium. Tauck is currently finalizing a selection of tours for 2010 featuring two nights at Oberammergau including a performance of the Passion Play. In addition to Romantic Germany (14 days) and Alpine Interlude (12 days), more tours are under consideration. The last time the Passion Play was performed, in the year 2000, Tauck's tours filled very, very quickly. The Passion Play is performed for 5 months only (May–October) – don't delay in making your reservation early to guarantee your preferred departure date.
