George Frederick Handel turned to the oratorio form after his Opera "Giulio Cesare" faced censorship. Oratorios were more acceptable to audiences and authorities because they were typically performed in concert settings rather than staged, allowing for the inclusion of biblical themes without the complications of opera. This shift enabled Handel to create significant works, such as "Messiah," which became a cornerstone of the genre and retained popular appeal.
