Further information on destination:

The history of the Oberammergau Passion play begins in 1633. During the Thirty Years’ War, after much suffering and also 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 middle of 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.


Dates of performance 2010:

The premiere takes place on Saturday, 15th May, 2010 and the last performance is planned for Sunday, 3rd October, 2010.
In 2010 the performance will, for the first time, begin in the afternoon (2.30 pm - 5.00 pm) and the second part will be performed in the evening hours (8.00 pm. - 10.30 pm).

For 2010, the Oberammergau people will maintain the traditions that have kept the play valid for 376 years, making it a brilliant cultural and religious event.
