Handel gave the first performance of Messiah; the occasion was a benefit for people languishing in debtors’ prisons. The rehearsals attracted wide attention: one newspaper commented that Messiah was thought “by the greatest Judges to be the finest Composition of Musick that ever was heard.” Normally, the concert hall held 600 people; but to increase the capacity, women were asked not to wear hoopskirts, and men were asked to leave their swords at home. Although the premiere was a success, the first performance in London (1743) was poorly received, mainly because of religious opposition to using a Christian text in a theater. It took Messiah almost a decade to find popularity in London. Not until it was performed yearly at a benefit for a London orphanage did it achieve its unique status. A contemporary wrote that Messiah “fed the hungry, clothed the naked, fostered the orphan.” _______________ https://youtube/watch?v=ZuGSOkYWfDQ
