Once every decade the residents of the town of Oberammergau, Germany perform the original Passion Play at the 5,000 seat outdoor theatre. The next performance of the Play based on the life and Crucifixion of Christ will be presented from May through September of 2010.
The spectacular play is performed in German (booklets are available with written translations in English and French). The residents are the performers and to participate you have to be a resident of Oberammergau for at least 20 years! The performance is broken up into 2 sessions: an afternoon performance of 2 1/2 hours; followed by a 2 1/2 hour dinner break; and a final evening session of 2 1/2 hours. Since this play is only once every ten years, the demand for tickets is great and as you can imagine sold out in advance. The best way to experience the play is by booking a land tour or even better, a river cruise in conjunction with the land tour. The hotels in town are reserved by the tour companies and blocks of tickets have been in their possession for months already. If you are interested in attending next year's event, please call for information.
