“Gaga Chromatica Ball” marks the second collaboration for Lady Gaga and HBO.
A concert film on Gaga’s 2009-2011 Monster Ball tour, “Lady Gaga Presents the Monster Ball Tour: At Madison Square Garden,” aired in May 2011. The film, co-executive produced by Gaga, earned five Primetime Emmy nominations, winning an award for Outstanding Picture Editing.
“Lady Gaga is a complete powerhouse,” said Nina Rosenstein, executive vice president of HBO Programming, Late Night & Specials, in a statement. “She’s a once-in-a-lifetime artist who never holds back, and ‘Gaga Chromatica Ball’ puts her endless list of talents on full display. We’re thrilled to partner with her once again for this breathtaking concert special.”

The Chromatica Ball ran from July to September 2022 in support of Gaga’s sixth studio album “Chromatica.” Released in 2020, the dance-pop LP debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart and earned Gaga a Grammy Award for best pop duo/group performance for “Rain on Me,” a collaboration with Ariana Grande.
“Here’s the truth—no matter where life or my career has taken me, my time with you always is a path back to a very powerful part of myself,” Gaga wrote to fans on X. “I hope you will feel seen when you watch this film. And know that I edited it carefully to honor you.”
