Rewrote an oddly worded paragraph, fixed an inconsistency between the quote and the lyrics (which wasn't entirely wrong, so I also added a trivia about it).

{{spoiler| | {{spoiler|The opera sequence begins after GLaDOS sends Chell on a lift towards the surface. The lift stops in front of some Turrets aimed at Chell, making it seem like GLaDOS's promise of freedom was a lie. Instead, the Turrets begin serenading her. As the lift ascends even further, Chell witnesses an even larger group of Turrets awaiting her arrival as the Prima Donna Turret sings the lead vocals and the [[Turrets#Animal King Turret|Animal King Turret]] provides the bass notes. The opera is still audible as the lift arrives at the top, lingering until the moment Chell finally steps outside.}} | ||
