Oberammergau 2010 – The 41st Passion Play

A play of life and death, promised in a moment of mortal threat - so began the history of the Oberammergau Passion Play in 1633. In the middle of the Thirty Years War, after months of suffering and death from the plague, the Oberammergauers swore an oath that they would perform the "Play of the Suffering, Death and Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ" every ten years.

The Passion Play Today

In this spirit, during a work period of several years, text and music were fundamentally revised, new settings and costumes were designed and a newproduction was created in countless rehearsals. Now, more than 2,000 Oberammergauers, actors, singers, instrumentalists and stage technicians bring to the stage those events Christianity regards as its central source of life and hope in approximately six hours of playing time.

The next Passion Play takes place in the year 2010. Ticket sales start in the year 2008. Register your interest today and we will keep you informed as tickets, accommodation and flights become available!
