TRAVEL, TRAVEL, AND MORE TRAVEL!!!!!
OBERAMMERGAU 2010
The quaint village of Oberammergau is world famous for its spectacular Passion Play, performed by the locals just once a decade. In 1634 the Black Death decimated Europe's population. Oberammergau remained untouched until a homesick villager returned one night, unknowingly bringing with him the dreaded plague. Almost 100 villagers died as a result.
Frightened survivors vowed that if God saved them from the plague, once every 10 years they would reenact the agony and crucifixion of Christ. >From then on there were no further deaths from the plague----and the villagers have fulfilled their pledge ever since.
About the Passion Play----The 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 one 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. All Globus guests enjy first class seating.
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.
**NOTE: There are no Single Rooms, and guests traveling alone are required to share in Oberammergau.
