Lady Gaga told the media, "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, it will begin on November 27 in Montreal. The Monster Ball is a multimedia artistic experience in the style of the first-ever pop electro opera.”
