The film, titled Lady Gaga in Harlequin Live One Night Only, was recorded on September 30, 2024, at the Belasco Theater in downtown Los Angeles, where the singer performed the full album for a select group of fans.

The performance took place shortly after Harlequin's release in September 2024 and featured Gaga with a six-piece band, including musical direction from Brian Newman, Tim Stewart, and Alex Smith. The stage was designed to resemble a rundown apartment, immersing the audience in a theatrical setting inspired by the album's themes. Attendees surrendered their phones and smartwatches to ensure the event remained undocumented, preserving its secretive nature. Gaga appeared in character as Harlequin, presenting the show as a musical rather than a conventional concert, complete with rock arrangements of jazz standards and nods to her influences.

Harlequin serves as a companion soundtrack to the 2024 film Joker: Folie à Deux, in which Gaga starred as Harley Quinn...
