A rehearsal visit to the Passionstheater in Oberammergau – Bavaria

The memory of the past early summer in Oberammergau is there immediately. The smell of dry grass and the warmth that lingered between the houses all day and still clung to the ground in the evening. The rustling of the large deciduous trees behind the theater building, which sounds like the sudden onset of rain. To the last “hallelujah” on stage. And also to the many people who pushed through the streets back in May towards the barriers around the theater, tickets for the Passion Play in hand. In the meantime, more than a year has passed since the premiere of the Christian play, and soon there will be the next, completely different production on the huge open-air stage: “Julius Caesar” by William Shakespeare.
