Lady Gaga live at the O2 was utterly magnificent ...Middle East

As we took our seats we were serenaded by Bizet’s 1875 opera Carmen in all its over-the-top, romantic glory – and what followed felt like not only a surface-level nod to its “aesthetic”, but a truly operatic event. Gaga has always been a master of blending visuals with her thumping, big-ticket pop songs, and The Mayhem Ball is a narrative extravaganza of the gothic, the mystical and the macabre: Gaga transformed into queens, crones and divas against a set designed like an old-fashioned theatre, costumes becoming increasingly exaggerated and bizarre, all corsets, capes, feathers and wigs. “Death or love tonight?” she sings in recent Europop hit “Abracadabra” – a true operatic sentiment if ever there was one.

The songs remain, of course, as unapologetic and expressive as ever, old classics “Paparazzi” and “Alejandro” landing on a par with newer favourites “Disease” and “Perfect Celebrity”. Some tracks caused uproar: the euphoric “Applause” and Pride anthem “Born This Way” were among the highlights of her hoard of bangers, while “Shallow” – the soaring ballad from A Star is Born, in which Gaga co-starred with Bradley Cooper in 2008 – incited widespread sobbing and screaming along.
