Mahalo i kona ikaika a me kona manaʻo paʻa, ua hauʻoli kēia hale keaka i nā mea aloha mele me nā hana hoihoi he nui.
Ua hānau ʻia ʻo Tons ma Leningrad. Eia naʻe, ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻokani pila, ua hoʻokumu ʻia ʻo ia ma Latvia. Ma ke kapikala o ka repubalika, ua puka ʻo ia mai ka conservatory i ka papa pālua bass, hoʻokani ʻia ma nā ʻano mele like ʻole ma lalo o ke alakaʻi a G. Abendroth, E. Kleiber, L. Blech. I ka loaʻa ʻana o ka ʻike, i ka makahiki 1945 ua komo hou ʻo ia i ka Latvian Conservatory a ʻelima mau makahiki ma hope mai ua hoʻopau ʻo ia i kāna aʻo ʻana ma ke ʻano he alakaʻi symphony ma lalo o ke alakaʻi ʻana a nā kumu aʻoaʻo P. Barison lāua ʻo L. Wigner. I loko o nā makahiki o ke aʻo ʻana, ua hoʻomaka ʻo Tons i nā hana hoʻokō. ʻO ka mea mua, ua hana ʻo ia ma ka Riga Musical Comedy Theatre, kahi āna i alakaʻi ai i ka The Violet of Montmartre, Pericola, The Wedding at Malinovka, a laila ma ka Opera and Ballet Theatre ma ke ʻano he kōkua o L.

Ma Leningrad, ua alakaʻi ʻo Tons iā Boris Godunov, The Maid of Pskov, Eugene Onegin, The Queen of Spades, The Taras Family, a hoʻokumu i kāna hana kūʻokoʻa mua, ʻo ka opera Dubrovsky.

I ka hoʻopili ʻana i nā mea pena me kona hoihoi, ua ʻimi ʻo ia e hana hou i ka repertoire. ʻO kēia ke ʻano o nā hana opera ʻaʻole i hōʻike ʻia ma ka Soviet Union no ka manawa lōʻihi, a me nā hiʻohiʻona o nā mele hou i hōʻike ʻia ma ke kahua Riga: Wagner's Tannhäuser and Valkyrie, R.

ʻAʻole i emi iki ka hana a Tons, kahi alakaʻi symphony. I kekahi manawa (1963-1966) ua hui pū ʻo ia i ka hana keaka me nā kuleana o ke poʻo o ka Latvian Radio and Television Orchestra. A ma ke kahua ʻaha mele, ua hoihoi nui ʻia ʻo ia e nā canvases dramatic nui. Ma waena o lākou ʻo Handel's Messiah, Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, Berlioz's Damnation of Faust, Verdi's Requiem, Stravinsky's Oedipus Rex, Prokofiev's Ivan the Terrible, M. Zarin's Mahogany. Aia ma ka moʻolelo hoʻokumu o Tons nā hana mua o nā hana he nui a nā mea haku mele o ka repubalika - M. Zarin, Y. Ivanov, R. Greenblat, G. Raman a me nā mea ʻē aʻe.
Hoʻokani mau ʻo Tons me nā ʻahamele ma Moscow, Leningrad a me nā kūlanakauhale ʻē aʻe o ka ʻāina. I ka makahiki 1966 ua huaka'i 'o ia i Polani me na papahana mai na hana a Tchaikovsky a me Shostakovich.
Ua hua ka hana a Tons ma ke ʻano he poʻo o ka papa alakaʻi symphony ma ka Latvian Conservatory (1958-1963).
