Born in Novouralsk, Viktor Afanasenko first appeared with his own rock band on television when his potential as an opera singer was noticed. He studied at Ekaterinburg Conservatory and went on to win the Natalia Spiller Competition in Perm. In Russia he sang at the State Operas of Perm and Ekaterinburg and at the Mikhailovsky and Marinsky Theatres in St Petersburg. He moved to Austria and thus began his international career in theatres throughout the world.
