German town to present passion play in 2010
The renowned Oberammergau Passion Play is coming in 2010. The re-enactment of the crucifixion of Christ began in this German town nearly 400 years ago, when its war-torn, plague-ridden residents pledged to perform the play every 10 years if they survived. Little did they know: The 41st edition runs May 15 to Oct. 3, 2010.
You can buy packages online from the Office of the Passion Play 2010 (011-49-8822-92310). One-nighters range from $316 per person for a room in a private house to $912 per person for a hotel room. The price includes theater tickets, admission to the town museum and three meals. (If you'd like to arrange your own lodging, some theater tickets will be available online next spring.)
If you're interested in a longer visit, there are lots of tours out there. For example, MTS Travel, based in Lancaster, Pa., offers seven- to 10-day packages for about $4,000 per person double, including airfare, that add other cities.
Details: 800-874-9330.
