The song concludes with Chell emerging onto the surface of the Earth, to find herself in an open wheatfield, with no sign of the Aperture laboratory except a small iron shed, which conceals the elevator. It emits the deeper bass tones of the opera. Īlso of note is an enormous, crowned, animal king sentry turret in what seems to be jaguar-print camouflage, which can be seen in the back of the amphitheater during the scene. The thicker size of the apparent turret could be a play on the American stereotype that Grand Opera sopranos are typically overweight and related colloquialism that 'it ain't over 'til the fat lady sings.' The official Portal 2 guide gives further credence to such conjecture, as it refers to the 'fat' turret as the 'Soprano Turret.'. The vocal part is sung by a larger turret in the center, who is highlighted by a spotlight.

The game then cuts to a cinematic ending where Chell first encounters a group of four sentry turrets who, after aiming their lasers at Chell, play a clarinet-like music to the tune of the chorus.Īfter seeing these turrets, the elevator continues its upward path while passing more turrets and eventually ends up in a large amphitheater-like room full of turrets, all playing music of various tones according to their size and design. The chorus can be seen/heard after Chell awakens in GLaDOS' main control room and is subsequently expelled from the facility via an elevator.
