The complete performance of Handel's Messiah typically lasts around 2 to 2.5 hours. This oratorio consists of three parts, with Part I usually lasting about 45-50 minutes, Part II around 45 minutes, and Part III around 35-40 minutes. The length can vary depending on the conductor's interpretation and any additional cuts or repeats made during the performance.

It is generally reckoned to have been three weeks; the Hallelujah Chorus was written in three days. Handel is reputed to have said that Heaven opened while he was composing it.

It is divided up into sections. The first part (Advent/Christmas) runs about an hour depending upon the tempo and how long the breaks are between arias and choruses.
