Performed once per decade in remembrance for being spared the effects of the Bubonic Plague, in 2022 the villagers of Oberammergau are once again offering their moving Passion Play, now world-renowned. This moving performance will be combined with five nights exploring the very scenic adjacent Austrian Alps, at the village of St Gilgen by the Wolfgangsee.
Accompanying lecturer Professor Bridget Heal will give a series of enlightening lectures on religion, art and society in late-medieval and early modern Germany and Austria. A day will also be spent in the historic musical town of Salzburg, culminating in a Mozart dinner concert.
