It is customary to stand during the “Hallelujah Chorus” from Handel’s oratorio Messiah (which is regularly performed at Christmas and Easter) supposedly because King George II did. There is a story (which is believed to be apocryphal that he stood as he mistook it for the National Anthem)
In many parts of the world, it is the accepted practice for the audience to stand for this section of the performance. Tradition has it that King George II rose to his feet at this point. As the first notes of the triumphant Hallelujah Chorus rang out, the king rose. Royal protocol has always demanded that whenever the monarch stands, so does everyone in the monarch’s presence. Thus, the entire audience stood too, initiating a tradition that has lasted more than two centuries
