Canadian soprano Maika Héon announced that she will retire from opera in December. She broke the news on Facebook in French and English:

"“Hello, everyone. I hate to say this, but I'm getting old. I'm in my mid-40's, and it's possible I'm also getting a bit gross. My voice doesn't sound the same. That being said, I'm going to retire from opera at the end of the year. My final performance will be on December 19th at the Caesars Windsor Colosseum along with the Windsor Symphony Orchestra. See you then. Another reason why I'm retiring from opera is because I also wanna focus more on my screen acting career. In conclusion, thank you for supporting me throughout two decades of my experience in opera.”"
