Im 79, too .
Doubt if my bladder would allow me to sit all the way through The Messiah.
Get a row end seat. Enjoy it.
Handel thought about bladders ....... possibly.I was thinking of going to The Messiah next weekend, but maybe a rethink is needed

There was a nice lady I got chatting to who had motored down from Stafford, just for this performance. I mentioned that when the Hallelujah Chorus starts, it's tradition for the whole audience to stand (if possible). This stems from the time when George II stood in excitement, compelling the rest of the audience follow suit, it being improper for them to remain seated when the monarch was on his feet.
It was a memorable performance.
Best of all, the rain has already stopped and tomorrow will turn into a lovely day.
