Here we have a set of 15 different 1975 Nicaraguan stamps featuring famous operas and singers who have performed in them. A few bars of the music are also included. The stamps are fine, unmounted mint marginal copies. (I have folded the margins on some so the stamps will fit on a stock card for display and posting.) They are generally well centered. 

The operas include La Traviata, La Boheme, Turandot, Rigoletto, Don Giovanni and Tristan and Isolde. The famous singers include Joan Sutherland, Birgit Nilsson, Enzo Pinza, Maria Callas and Rosa Ponselle. The stamps were printed by De La Rue of Colombia. 

The postage costs on this item are higher than I would like and, after leaving them unchanged for several years, I have raised them slightly in line with the 2024 postage rates. British buyers please note: This item will cost $2 to post. 

As I have some fixed-price items anyone who purchases one of my lots might want to look at them before paying. Additional postage is free for subsequent purchases unless they are too big for my normal very low basic rates. If you are buying more than one item please wait for me to send an invoice so I can combine postage.

When payment for lots won is received by teatime British time (it is usually dished up about 4:30) I normally post the item the next morning. Our village post office is closed on Saturdays, however, so if you pay on Friday the item cannot go out until the following Monday.
