Why choose between Bavaria and Tyrol when you can have both? Especially during the Easter period, when chocolate hares and delicious Osterbrot fill the shelves. In Munich, the markets and streets are full of painted eggs. In the Austrian Alps, tradition is in full swing during Holy Week, with processions and festivities of all kinds. Innsbruck is decked out with Easter decorations and markets, while the Passionspielhaus in Erl stages a re-enactment of the last moments in the life of Christ every 6 years (until 2025).
The repertory theatre that is the Bayerische Staatsoper confirms its prestige, with first-rate singers, even for its revivals – Ermonela Jaho and Yusif Eyvazov in Puccini’s rare Manon Lescaut. The Erl Festival, directed by star tenor Jonas Kaufmann, finds a fitting programme, with the St Matthew Passion and Parsifal. Bach’s delicate yet powerful oratorio is performed on Good Friday, just as it was at its premiere.
