OBERAMMERGAU

PASSION PLAY 2010

The Passion Play of Oberammergau

The history of the Oberammergau Passion Play begins in 1633.  During the Thirty Years’ War, after much suffering and many deaths caused by the plague, the surviving population of Oberammergau vowed that they would perform the ‘play of the suffering, death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ’ every ten years if they were spared from extinction.  At Whitsun in 1634 they kept their promise for the first time.

As early as the mid 18th century spectators came to Oberammergau from all parts of Germany, attracted by the great power and mystique of the play.  In 2010 the village will perform the play for the 41st time, maintaining the continuity of this unique world famous event, featuring over 2000 performers, musicians and designers – all residents of the village of Oberammergau itself.

The premier will be performed before an international audience on Saturday, 15th May.  For the first time in history, the 2010 Passion Play will begin in the afternoon and resume in the evening following a relaxing three-hour dinner.
