There will be no final curtain call for Dame Kiri Te Kanawa who has dismissed reports she is retiring.
Dame Kiri, 65, was quoted by London's Daily Telegraph last month as saying a concert in the German city of Cologne next April "will be my last".
She cited an exhausting schedule and was quoted as saying opera was "mainly for young people".
However Dame Kiri, who is currently in Sydney told reporters that she is too busy to retire.
"The press might have announced it. I didn't say a thing. I don't know why they're trying to retire me. I'm not retiring."
Dame Kiri says people have been trying to retire her for the past 12 years.
New Zealand's world famous soprano is scheduled to sing in two concerts with the Sydney symphony this week.
