2010 Oberammergau Passion Play

The world famous PASSION PLAY is performed every ten years in the Bavarian village of Oberammergau, Germany. In 2010, the citizens of this picturesque town will take to the stage for the 41st time to portray the "passion" or suffering of Christ. As it has been from the very first play in 1638, all the actors are local townspeople. One year prior to the performances, the actors start rehearsals and begin growing their hair to ensure that the characters look as realistic as possible. More than 1500 adults and 500 children are typically involved. Performances are scheduled from mid-May through September in 2010. Image Tours will offer the following tours with admission to the Passion Play included:

15-day Heart of Europe tour
15-day Heart of Europe Circle tour
13-day Treasures of Italy tour
14-day Germany, Austria, Switzerland tour
9-day Scenic Alpine tour
22-day Heart of Europe Grand tour

Passion Play 2010 – On Location 3 of 10

Inside the Passion Play Theatre, I took a tour guided by Martin Weber, who doubles as a local woodcarver and who has participated in several Passion plays during his life in Oberammergau. I was very impressed with the simple yet well thought out structure of the theatre. I honestly believe there isn’t a bad seat in the place. As you can see, the stage is exposed but the seating remains covered. I suppose those in the first rows of seats may be susceptible to the elements, but I would advise all spectators to dress comfortably and with layers in order to keep comfortable during the almost 6 hour long production!
