Bernhart is the son of the writer Elsa Patscheider . After graduating from the humanistic high school Johanneum in Dorf Tirol near Meran, he studied German, theater studies and geography at the University of Vienna and completed his studies with a master's thesis with Werner Welzig in 1996 . He obtained his doctorate in 2001 under Lutz Danneberg at the Institute for German Literature at the Humboldt University in Berlin . From 2006 to 2012 he was coordinator of the Graduate School for the Arts and Sciences (renamed Berlin Center for Advanced Studies in Arts and Sciences in 2016) at the Berlin University of the Arts and from 2013 to 2015 research assistant in the ERC project “DramaNet - Early Modern European Drama and the Cultural Net ”under the direction of Joachim Küpper at the Free University of Berlin. Since 2015, Bernhart has headed the DFG-funded research project "Quantitative Literature Studies" at the University of Stuttgart .

Toni Bernhart works both scientifically and artistically. As a literary scholar, his work focuses on folk drama , quantitative literary studies and auditing in literature. As an artist, Bernhart is the author of plays and radio plays as well as a director.

His debut “Lasamarmo” was premiered in 1999 under the direction of Johannes Ch. Hoflehner in the Semper Depot (Vienna), followed by performances in Esch-sur-Alzette (Luxembourg) and Brixen (South Tyrol). The South Tyrolean Theater Association celebrated its 50th birthday in 2002 with the dialect piece “Langes afn Zirblhouf” (director: Klaus Rohrmoser). Toni Bernhart was invited to the 2003 Werkstatttage at the Burgtheater in Vienna for Martinisommer . "Martinisommer" was produced in 2006 by ORF (Ö1) as a radio play (director: Harald Krewer) and played in 2006 as a live radio play in the Vienna Burgtheater (casino). As part of the 3rd Tyrolean Dramatists Festival in the Westbahntheater (Innsbruck) and in the theater in the old town (Meran), it saw other performances (director: Torsten Schilling). Bernhart wrote the acting part for the dance theater piece “Mischa, der Fall”, which premiered in Mersch and Ettelbrück (Luxembourg) in 2008 (choreography: Bernard Baumgarten, director: Claude Mangen). On behalf of the 5th Free Theater Festival Innsbruck he dramatized the Aeneid of Virgil. The work, which lasted several hours, was performed in 2016 by 23 actors (Daniela Bjelobradic, Eleonore Bürcher, Günter Graefenberg and many others) in the vaulted cellar of Büchsenhausen Castle (Innsbruck) (directed by Andrea Hügli, Mona Kraushaar, Thomas Oliver Niehaus, Torsten Schilling).

In 2010 Bernhart made his debut as a director: Together with Janina Janke and Corinne Rose, he staged “Laas Jedermann” in Laas (South Tyrol) based on “ The Laas game from its own court ”, which was probably written by Johann Herbst around 1800. In 2016 he staged the Marienberg “Griseldis” (1713) , again together with Janina Janke , in the new building of the monastery library of the Marienberg Abbey .
