The Austrian Empire, ruled by the Habsburg dynasty into the 19th century, extended across much of the Heart of Europe, including the lands that now form Austria, Hungary and the Czech Republic. Our journey focuses on four great cities: Budapest, Vienna, Salzburg and Prague, as well as the exciting and important Passion Play performance in the small alpine town of Oberammergau. In Budapest, learn how Hungarian music and literature became unifying tools in the quest for national identity. In Vienna, we shall trace the city’s artistic history back to its roots in folk culture. Salzburg allows us to marvel at the region’s remarkable musical heritage. Our Prague sojourn reveals a city that has always been a political, intellectual and cultural centre and has undergone a wonderful rejuvenation in the last decade. In each area we will be joined by regional specialists who will deepen our understanding of Central Europe today. For almost 400 years, the people of Oberammergau have fulfilled a vow to honour God through the Passion Play, a larger than life portrayal of the life and passion of Jesus. Every ten years the village devotes itself to this wonderful event, involving a cast of thousands, entirely made up of local residents. For over two years, characters take on their roles, reliving the important tales of the Bible. Do read on but don’t delay, this tour is limited to just 38 members. Call today to reserve your places.
