In 2002, she was the laureate of the Musica Juventutis competition of the Konzerthaus, Vienna, and received a sponsorship award from the Mozarteum University Salzburg in 2003.

Trattnigg made her opera debut at the Schlosstheater Schönbrunn, singing Euridice in Gluck's Orfeo ed Euridice. She then continued to sing Cleopatra in Handel's Giulio Cesare in Egitto in Vienna, Donna Elvira in Mozart's Don Giovanni at the chamber opera at Schloss Rheinsberg, Pamina in his Die Zauberflöte, Mařenka in Smetana's The Bartered Bride and Antonia in Offenbach's The Tales of Hoffmann at the opera Klosterneuburg as well as Micaëla in Bizet's Carmen at the municipal theatre of Klagenfurt.

In the Summer of 2012, she sang in The Magic Flute at the Salzburg Festival and performed as Freia in Das Rheingold in Leipzig.

Trattnigg is also a concert singer. Appearances in all important European musical centers reflect her broad repertoire, her frequent engagements as well as her musical versatility: The Salzburg Festival, the Carinthian Summer, Konzerthaus and Musikverein Vienna, Tonhalle Zürich or the Gewandhaus in Leipzig being only some of her various stations in Europe. 2011 she sang the St Luke Passion of Krzysztof Penderecki with the Dresden Philharmonic.
