What a wonderful tribute to find this on the internet... I lived in oberammergau when I was a child and I remember it well... I live just below the mountain past the village which is the highest with the Curve on top called the keuffel mountain... we lived in a beautiful Log Cabin facing the mountain and just below was a beautiful Lake... The Farmland was stretched out to the left and the village was mostly Green Pastures and now as I see on this video it is consumed with houses very little land left... The growth of population in the world has changed the balance of nature... I miss oberammergau the most beautiful little village of all time with hand-carved cuckoo clocks and hand made Angels cut out of wood and the Beautiful violins that are created within that Village... There's so much talent and wonderful people that love Jesus Christ I miss my little village
God is honored by the promise kept by Oberammergau and Oberammergau is honored by God's faithfulness to their promise kept. Wish it would be every 5 years.
Congratulations Christian Stuckl, the entire cast, the backstage crew, and the orchestra and singers, for bouncing back and eventually rising to the occasion once again!
I feel so blessed to have been able to experience this magnificent Passion Play. I've wanted to see it since I was 14 and my cousin attended on a trip to Europe. I was scheduled to attend in 2020 and when our trip was canceled I was devastated but thought it just was not to be. Thankfully I was able to find wonderful travel companions who helped me during our tour. The Play was culmination of a dream come true and an enhancement of my spirituality and Christianity. God bless the people of Oberammergau for keeping this sacred promise.
I wish this was more frequent. Like maybe 5 years. I heard of this back in the ‘70’s when we were stationed in Stuttgart but as happens frequently, life sort of got in the way and I forgot about it.
Is the invasion of Ukraine impacting the Passion play? We have tickets for May 15. First the pandemic postponed the event and now hopefully NOT this invasion so close to Germany. Do you have contingency plans? thank you.
No, the war in Ukraine does not impact the Passion Play. The infection rules of the Bavarian and German government apply. We are confident that there won't be any regulations in May.
It isn't really necessary, like when Mass was in Latin. At least for most Christians, we pretty much know the story. But for those who don't, I understand that there are guides in the major languages.
Rehearsals have begun on January 6th this year. Orchestra and choir are rehearsing since the beginning of November 2021 and our workshops are busy working on the costumes and the stage set.
The season ended on October 2nd. The next Passion Play will be staged in 2030. Tickets can be bought online at www.passionplay-oberammergau.com. Subscribe to our newsletter so you will be informed in time when ticket sales are getting started.
'Historical accuracy' is inevitably questionable in any form of theatre production. Besides which, it is not an essential ingredient for conveying the essence of the story. In fact, in my own view and as we have seen before in many of these productions, a reasonably stylised representation of the period is often a far more effective and distinctly potent way of presenting them.
I saw the play two weeks ago. I was overwhelmed with emotion at this magnificent production. Thank you Oberammergau. God bless you.

I went in 1984, age 17, truly memorable. Might go again in 2030!!

Just incredible! No words...
Just saw the play tonight...AWESOME !!! Thanks to everyone!!!
Thank you for making and sharing this video. I am blessed. May GOD bless you and family too.
Fantastic. Was in Oberammergau in November 2021.
Looking forward to my Pilgrimage to Oberammergau in September 2022. Thank you very much for the interesting 🤔 reviews. I’m very excited 🤗🌹🥰❤️💕💗💃🏽🕺🏽🌺
I will be coming in mid-September. I am looking forward to seeing the play.
i saw the play this summer it was spectacular
I would love to see it. Over 30yrs ago I would have gone but had give up because had a family problem.
Welease Wodger!
What about Woderwick?
I wonder how was your Covid-19 pandemic in Oberammergau. Same as before, historic plague?
I went to Oberammergau back in 82 when I lived in Germany, but never once went to the play 😢
Well, it's generally every 10 years on (0) years. Actually in 1984 it broke tradition and in 1934 to celebrate the Nazi party.

The costumes need to be more historically accurate to the time of the first century

Just curious, what she is considered a child? Up to age 17? Do of you at ,17 and under they can be in the play?
From 18 years onwards you are an adult. Until then everyone can participate.
