The exciting news is that the event has been rescheduled for 2022 and to celebrate this, Collette is offering visitors a special discount of $500 per person off every tour, on every date which includes the Passion Play and land touring.
Oberammergau’s devout villagers first performed this play in 1634 in the hope that they would be spared the devastating effects of the Black Death plague which was decimating Europe. Miraculously, the villagers survived the pandemic and as a token of their thanks to God, they have continued to perform their passion play every 10 years ever since.
With Australians looking forward to the return of international travel, the Passion Play is a bucket-list experience not to be missed. Meeting the locals, hearing about the long-standing traditions of the villagers who were either born in Oberammergau or who have lived there for over 20 years and who have the right to audition for 2000 roles as performers, musicians or technicians, is all part of the excitement of this spectacular show.
James Hewlett, Head of Marketing, Collette Australia, said, “Guests can book their Collette Oberammergau tour knowing that Collette’s policy is a money-back refund in the event of cancellation of the tour. For ultimate flexibility guests can add Collette’s cancellation waiver ($495pp) and cancel for any reason up to 24 hours prior to departure.”
