      While Wynne communicates with the audience through the words and music, conductor Douglas Boyd picks up on his subtld cues so the orchestra and soloist are 100% together. Picture: Matt Crossick/PA

      Power and precision in equal measure, Wynne's voice was amplified by the on-stage microphones. He once performed in the Royal Albert Hall without amplification, and promised himself he would never do it again! Picture: Matt Crossick/PA

      'Nessun dorma' shot into the public consciousness after Pavarotti's performance at the World Cup. Wynne joked, saying the aria was from the opera 'La World Cup 1990'. Picture: Matt Crossick/PA

      Not content with being a fantastic singer, Wynne's also quite the comedian. "In honor of this piece, Nissan are thinking of bringing out a new camper van, the Nissan Dorma!" Sigh... Picture: Richard Johnson

      You might have seen Wynne singing in the 'Go Compare' adverts, as his alter ego 'Gio Compario'. We'd take Wynne over Gio any day! Picture: Richard Johnson

      Surprisingly, even after singing such amazing tenor arias, Wynne said performing the advert's jingles was pretty difficult. The music goes up to a top D flat, which is right at the high end of his range! Picture: Richard Johnson
