This 2 centavos stamp from Nicaragua forms part of the Grandes Cantantes de Ópera (Great Opera Singers) series. It honors the celebrated Italian baritone Tito Gobbi (1913–1984), shown in costume as the Doge in Verdi’s opera Simon Boccanegra. The design features a striking portrait of Gobbi alongside a musical score excerpt, with the opera’s title in ornate script. Printed by De La Rue de Colombia, this issue reflects Nicaragua’s tradition of honoring world cultural figures through philately. A highly collectible piece for enthusiasts of opera-themed and performing arts stamps.
