Our Oberammergau Passion Play Faq Diaries

The Oberammergau Passion Play is literally a once in a decade experience, The Passion Play is performed every 10 years at the town of Oberammergau, Germany. The play is a outdoor performance, giving the play some life it stages itself in front of the sky and mountains behind. You're able to be breathing in the fresh air and hearing birds chirping while not being worried about the weather. While not being fully outside it takes the benefits of both indoor and out.

The play is composed of spoken word, both musical and choir performances and well as tableaux vivants. A tableaux vivant is a group of people arrange to represent a scene with verbal descriptions. These scenes will be the basis of the Old and New Testament, of the play. They include a spectacle of the brothers selling Joseph into slavery in Egypt, and Moses raising up the bronze serpent in the wilderness. The remainder of the operation is a dramatic presentation depicting Christ's Passion: suffering the trial and death of Jesus Christ.

The music was written the way back in 1779 by Rochus Dedler. The music has influences of Mozart. There's an orchestra composed of 60 musicians and https://www.playbuzz.com/item/33f09e56-1e20-4e47-91aa-e5a6bdf52e0d a choir to help bring all the scenes and emotion to live.
