Portal 2 Turret Opera

I just finished Portal 2 today - wonderful game - and I loved the Turret opera at the end almost more than the end credit song. I can't find the OST and do not know the piece, but at least I can upload it for now for those who want to listen to it like I do.

I apologize for the video being a bit dark, its my video compressor. This was more for the music anyway, though.

Everything in this video is the property of Valve software.

My dear, beautiful darling.
My child that I admire.
To my dear, farewell!
My dear girl, why don't you stay away, yes away from science?
My dear, dear girl.
To my lovely.
To my dear.
To my dear.
To my Child.
My dear, dear to me!

Never has a game scared me, and then put such a huge smile on my face. When that elevator stopped and the 4 turrets were there, I thought Glados really finally had killed us, then the music started and I remembered how to breath again

Ellen McLain, the Voice for GLaDOS, The Voice for the TF2 Announcer, and many more females from Valve games, She also is a Opera Singer... and she sung this "Turret Opera" here. Lovely woman.

If Portal 3 ever becomes a thing, I hope that giant king Turret is in it.

[ShougaTouki]

I cried when I first saw this at the end of the game and it still makes me a little sad.

[Sully]

"you're someone else's problem"

now chell is the combines problem

[Lngsword]

The first time I beat the game and saw/heard this, it blew my mind. My only thought at the time was "THE TURRETS ARE FUCKING SINGING AND IT'S BEAUTIFUL."

One of the greatest endings to a game ever. So good that I’m ok if there’s never a third portal. Wouldn’t want them to tarnish this masterpiece.

[Mr_Meatbox]

Its been 4 years.
Still the best song Valve has made

[Star_on_a_Staff]

It's like they're saying goodbye, thanks for playing....

[Spooky_Cat]

I love it when games have a seemingly humorous theme when you play it, but when you actually sit down and examine the lore and review the cutscenes from the actual game you discover the game is actually much more grim and scary. I'm serious, just thinking about all that went down in Aperture Laboratories with GLadOS and what Doug Rattman had to go through gives me goosebumps.

[wowee_]

always gives me chills when the king turret begins man, what a good game. i don't get why some people are saying there needs to be a third portal, its fine just as it is. glados is in the abandoned labratory doing whatever she wants, chell escapes off to explore the abandoned world, and wheatley is just kinda out there. perfection.

[Noah-pcwq]

I really want a perspective that shows Chell's reaction to this serenade, as she's going up the elevator.

[Zombiewithabowtie]

In the unlikely event that I was ever chosen to ascend to heaven, this is the song I'd want playing while it happened.

[thorntail]

Anyone else get really emotional when king turret starts singing? :'(

[ginJorel]

1:07 and beyond gives me chills. the slow moment on the turret floor made you think about what was going on initially, but when the elevator was rising, you had time to think "wow, this game was amazing" with outstanding vocals in the background guiding you as you're finally free.

Cara, bel, cara mia, (Dear, beautiful, my dear, )
bella bambina, (beautiful child, )
oh Chell, (Chell oh, )
que lastima, (that's too bad, )
que lastima, (that's too bad, )
deh! Cara mia, (well, My dear, )
addio. (Goodbye)

Mia bambina, (My Baby)
cara, (dear, )
perchè non passi (why don't you stay)
lontana, deh (far, ah)
sì lontana (so far)
da scienza? (from science?)

Cara, cara (Baby, baby)
mia bambina, (my child, )
ah mia bel, (ah my beautiful, )
ah mia cara, (ah my dear, )
la mia cara, (my dear, )
la mia bamina, (my child, )
oh cara, (my dear, )
cara mia... (my dear...)

Proof that GLaDOS still has Caroline in her:
The whole point of GLaDOS letting Chell go was - "You're too hard to kill, gtfo"
But once you're in the elevater with the turrents aiming at you, they don't shoot; which proves that GLaDOS (or Caroline) intentionally spared her life

[ezrarhoads]

In Greek mythology, the afterlife is you in a wheat-field with your best friend....

[builttoscalevideos]

I dunno why but this song makes me want to cry.
maybe because portal 2 was such a crazy journey
and ending up becoming friends with GLaDOS all to have her dump you out of the blue and give you this lovely piece on the way out is such a bittersweet thing.
really. from this ending it makes it hard to think that there will be a portal 3 (if that even is likely knowing valve, maybe portal 2 episode 1 and 2 from different characters perspectives?)
