It's the end of a long career for Dame Kiri Te Kanawa.

The 73-year-old kiwi soprano will never sing in public again.

Dame Kiri stood down from Opera singing about a year ago, but now she's told the BBC that she's sung her final note.

The vocalist said she doesn't want to hear her own voice, when she spends all day hearing talented young singers.
