Following a year defined by MAYHEM’s opulent theatricality and scale, Gaga reimagines the album for an intimate, one-night-only performance filmed live on January 14 at The Wiltern in Los Angeles. When the global artist set off on The MAYHEM Ball, an international tour in support of her Grammy Award-winning seventh album MAYHEM, she traveled the globe with her own opera house in tow. Executive produced by Gaga and Michael Polansky, the tour combined large-scale staging, narrative-driven elements, and couture-inspired fashion, with a storyline that explored themes of duality, death, and rebirth. Each night, the columns and ornate finishes of this surreal and gorgeous theater’s facade served as the backdrop for her journey into the madness of MAYHEM. But now the opera house has been reduced to rubble—and it’s time to pay our respects and prepare for MAYHEM’s final act.
For Apple Music Live, Gaga presents MAYHEM Requiem, a celebration and musical reimagining of MAYHEM. The phantom of her own gothic opera, she spends most of the intimate evening at The Wiltern in Los Angeles at the piano or synths, where she helms reimagined arrangements of “Abracadabra,” “Disease,” and the rest of its tracklist among the cracked columns and scattered ruins of the MAYHEM Ball.
MAYHEM Requiem is both a perfect companion to the original album and a singular experience. The companion album will be available in Spatial Audio on Apple Music on May 15, allowing listeners to experience the performance as if they were there.
