== | The '''Turret Opera''' is an event in the single-player campaign of ''[[Portal 2]]'' in which a group of [[Turrets#Sentry Turret|Sentry Turrets]] form a unique melody via the movement sounds of their weaponry casings. | ||
The opera is introduced as an easter egg in [[Portal 2 Chapter 3 Test Chamber 16|Test Chamber 16]] of [[GLaDOS]]' [[Test Chambers|testing tracks]] in ''Chapter 3: The Return'', hidden beside a wall with a gap near the start of the chamber, where a Turret can be seen inside it. Upon entering, [[Chell]] would be able to witness various Turrets beneath the room as they serenade to the [[Turrets#Prima Donna Turret|Prima Donna Turret]]. | |||
{{spoiler|The Turret Opera is seen again for the last time, as a closure to the game's single-player campaign, based on the popular opera phrase "it's not over until the fat lady sings" - in which the [[Turrets#Prima Donna Turret|Prima Donna Turret]] finally sings in the game along with the other Turrets.}} | |||
{{spoiler|This opera sequence began by which the Turrets are pointed towards Chell, striking a predicted moment that GLaDOS would lie to Chell for giving her the freedom leave the Enrichment Center. Surprisingly, the Turrets began serenading to her instead. As the lift ascends even further, Chell was able to witness an even larger group of Turrets awaiting her arrival as the Prima Donna Turret became the lead singer while the [[Turrets#Animal King Turret|Animal King Turret]] provides the background bass to their melody. After finally reaching the surface world, Chell was still able to hear the echoes of the large Turret Opera melody moments before the game ends.}} | |||
