Lady Gaga's 'Harlequin' Takes Center Stage: Exclusive Grammy Museum Event

Lady Gaga is set to celebrate her 'Harlequin' LP with the very first screening of a captivating concert film, 'LADY GAGA IN HARLEQUIN LIVE – ONE NIGHT ONLY,' an event proudly presented by the Grammy Museum. This special occasion also marks the 2024 companion album's prestigious nomination for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album at the upcoming 2026 Grammy Awards. Mother Monster will debut the film at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles on Thursday, December 18, offering fans an unparalleled experience.

The exclusive event promises more than just a screening; it will also feature an insightful discussion surrounding the entire project. The concert film itself is a never-before-shared recording of Gaga’s intimate performance held last year at The Belasco in Los Angeles. Before a select handful of fortunate fans, the multi-Grammy-winning artist performed the entirety of 'Harlequin,' captivating the audience with her unique renditions of beloved American Songbook classics, including “Get Happy” and “Good Morning.” For those eager to attend, tickets for this Grammy Museum event are readily available for purchase online.

'Harlequin,' which made its debut in October 2024, was crafted as a companion album to the 'Joker: Folie à Deux' sequel. In the film, Lady Gaga delivered a compelling performance as Harley Quinn, starring opposite Joaquin Phoenix in his iconic role. The album itself demonstrated commercial success, climbing to No. 20 on the highly competitive Billboard 200 chart. Building anticipation for the film, Gaga subtly teased its release on Wednesday, December 17, by sharing a video on her Instagram Story that slowly zoomed in on a distinctive 'Harlequin' drum set.

While the jazzy and conceptually rich full-length album was arguably overshadowed by the release of Gaga’s critically acclaimed, Billboard 200-topping 'Mayhem' album in March, the singer-actress has consistently maintained her deep pride in the 'Harlequin' endeavor. She famously articulated her sentiments on TikTok in April, stating, 'Harlequin is one of my proudest pieces of production,' a declaration made after her decision to refrain from playing any of the album’s tracks during her Coachella set.
