Mário Radačovský se je po diplomi na Plesnem konservatoriju Eva Jaczová v Bratislavi leta 1989 pridružil baletu Slovaškega narodnega gledališča in v zelo kratkem času postal solist. Leta 1992 je prejel ponudbo za zaposlitev v Nizozemskem plesnem gledališču Jiříja Kyliána v Haagu, pred prihodom pa je sklenil najprej polletno pogodbo z Baletom Narodnega gledališča Brno kot solist. V Nizozemskem plesnem gledališču Jiříja Kyliána je spoznal nekatere izmed najpomembnejših koreografov svojega časa, med drugimi Jiříja Kyliána, Matsa Eka, Nacha Duata, Ohada Naharina, Williama Forsytheja, Édouarda Locka in druge. Leta 1999 je postal prvi solist Les Grands Ballets Canadiens v Montrealu, nato pa se je leta 2000 vrnil v balet Slovaškega narodnega gledališča kot gostujoči solist in kasneje njegov umetniški vodja v letih od 2006 do 2010. Leta 2011 je ustanovil ansambel Balet Bratislava, ki ga je vodil do njegove razpustitve leta 2013. Od sezone 2013 je umetniški vodja Baleta Narodnega gledališča Brno.
