Brynnel first came to public notice in Australia in 1971, when she and the Melbourne-born Weaving were engaged with Sadlers Wells opera and appeared on ABC-TV in the documentary film Monique and Jon.
[3] This production on 10 July 1982 was Australia's first simulcast, relayed throughout the country on ABC-FM radio and ABC TV live from the Sydney Opera House.
[4] It was also released by Decca Records as a two-LP set "Strauss: Die Fledermaus Live from the Sydney Opera House".
[5] Weaving and Brynnel founded a business in Fyshwick, ACT, preserving trees,[6] a process that takes several years to complete and with no guarantee of a sale, meanwhile continuing to perform.
She played a "harsh voiced" Despina in Così fan tutte,[7] and starred in a Vienna-styled New Year's Eve concert.
