In December 1928 Brunskill was in Beecham's Queen's Hall RPS presentation of Handel's "Hercules" with Dora Labbette, Lilian Stiles-Allen, Tudor Davies and Horace Stevens. Brunskill's operatic appearances were fewer in the 1930s, but in 1933 her Amneris at Covent Garden, conducted by John Barbirolli, won warm praise: "Miss Brunskill seemed to rejoice in having the Covent Garden stage as a sounding-board for her magnificent voice, and to find inspiration in the unaccustomed freedom of dramatic music. Her acting was a direct and unexaggerated expression of emotion... she achieved a fine piece of work in the part and her actual singing was superb throughout."
