Tonauer gained her first opera experience at the Schlossfestspiele Langenlois as Haiderl in Das Dreimäderlhaus, and at the JOpera Festival in Jennersdorf, where she appeared as the Second Lady in Die Zauberflöte and as Hänsel in Hänsel und Gretel. At isaOpera Vienna, she performed the roles of Cherubino (Le nozze di Figaro) and Dorabella (Così fan tutte).

A year later, she won the 3rd International Otto Edelmann Singing Competition in Vienna. In 2017, she appeared at both the Styriarte and the Lech Classic Festival. In 2018, she was awarded a scholarship by the Richard Wagner Association in Munich.
Since the 2016/2017 season, Tonauer has been a member of the ensemble at the Staatstheater am Gärtnerplatz. Her roles there have included Angelina and Tisbe (La Cenerentola), Hänsel and Sandman (Hänsel und Gretel), Dorabella (Così fan tutte), Second Lady (Die Zauberflöte), Nancy (Martha), Maddalena (Rigoletto), Lucy (The Threepenny Opera), Olga (Eugene Onegin), Smeton (Anna Bolena), Caroline Helmer (Schubert’s Journey to Atzenbrugg), Rosina (The Barber of Seville), and The Muse/Nicklausse (The Tales of Hoffmann).
