Lady Gaga says, “The Haus of Gaga had been designing ‘The Monster Ball’ for premiere in 2010 at the O2 Arena in London, but due to diligent work and preparation, ‘The Monster Ball’ will begin on Nov. 27 in Montreal. ‘The Monster Ball’ is a multimedia artistic experience in the style of the first-ever ‘pop electro opera.’”

Lady Gaga will release a repackage of her breakthrough album, “The Fame,” called “The Fame Monster,” earlier that week on Nov. 23. The repackage will include eight new songs, including the club-banging first single “Bad Romance.”
