Oberammergau Passion Play 2010 (Oberammergau, Bavaria, Germany)
Performed on an open-air stage, the Passion Play follows Christ's triumphant entry into Jerusalem through His trial, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension.
The Oberammergau Passion Play started in 1633 in the middle of the Thirty Years War when 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 if God were to spare them from
the effects of the bubonic plague ravaging the region.
Today The Passion Play text and music were fundamentally revised,
new settings and costumes were designed, and a new production was created in countless rehearsals.
Now, more than 2,000 Oberammergauers, actors, singers, instrumentalists and stage technicians are involved in approximately six hours of playing time.
