Following her studies, Bryony joined the Wiener Staatsoper as the 2012 recipient of Opera Foundation Australia's Vienna State Opera Award, and remained as a member of the ensemble for the 2013/2014 season, through until the end of the 2019/2020 season. While at the Wiener Staatsoper Bryony sang roles such as Musetta (La Boheme), Pamina (Die Zauberflöte), Elvira (L'Italiana in Algeri), Cinderella (Cinderella), Giannetta (L'Eisir d'Amore), Barbarina (Le nozze di Figaro), Md lla. Juvenot (Adriana Lecouvreur), Ada (Die Feen für Kinder), Undine (Undine) and as the title role in the World Premiere of Albin Fries' opera, Persinette. 

During her tenure at the Wiener Staatsoper Bryony also covered roles including: Marzelline (Fidelio), Helena (A Midsummer Night's Dream), Adina (L'elisir d'Amore), Sophie (Werther), Susanna (Le nozze di Figaro), Zerlina (Don Giovanni), Despina (Cosi fan tutte), Clorinda (La Cenerentola), Najade (Ariadne auf Naxos), Nanetta (Falstaff), Woglinde (Das Rheingold, Götterdämmerung), Waldvogel (Siegfried), Blumenmädchen (Parsifal) et al. 
Bryony has travelled with the Wiener Staastoper to both the Royal Opera House Muscat, Oman, and Aix en Provence to perform in Gastspiel Concerts of Le nozze di Figaro. 
 
2015 saw Bryony appear as Ännchen in Weber’s Der Freischütz at Oper Köln and in April of that year, Bryony returned to Australia to perform at the Gala Concert of the Brisbane Baroque Festival. 

In the seasons 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 Bryony was a member of the ensemble at Theater Basel in Switzerland. During her two years in Basel, Bryony appeared as Erste Dame (Die Zauberflöte), Susanna (Chowanschtschina), Julie Jordan (Carosel), Julia (Romeo und Julia), Grille (Die Genesung der Grille), Princessin (Der Teufel mit den drei Goldenen Haaren), Mélisande (Ariane et Barbe-Bleue) and as Morgana in the highly successful production of Alcina directed by Lydia Steier and conducted by Andrea Marcon with La Cetra Barockorchester Basel. Bryony returned to Basel as a guest artist to sing Morgana again in this production at the beginning of the 2017/2018 season. 
Bryony also worked with Andrea Marcon and La Cetra Barockorchester Basel for a joint production with the Junges Theater Basel. This production, called Melancholia, went on to the Holland Festival in 2016. 

In 2018 Bryony made her debut in the role of Micaëla (Carmen) as a guest at Oper Wuppertal.

The 2018/2019 season saw Bryony as the only fest ensemble member of Stadttheater Klagenfurt, where she performed the roles of Musetta (La Boheme), Servilia (La Clemenza di Tito), Erste Elfe (Rusalka) and as Gabriel/Eve in a tremendously received concert performance of Haydn's Die Schöpfung. 
Bryony also sang the role of Jasmin in a new and exciting production of Georg Hass' thought provoking opera, KOMA. Bryony then travelled with this incredible production to perform at Opera de Dijon. Unfortunately, further planned performances in other countries were cancelled due to the Covid-19 lockdowns. 

Sadly due to the Corona virus, Bryony has lost many house and role debuts since 2020. Including Ännchen in Der Freischütz and Zerlina in Don Giovanni at the Wiener Staatsoper, Gilda in Rigoletto and Miriam in HIOB and many concerts. 

With things starting to open up again in 2021, Bryony was fortunate enough to be able to sing the role of Violetta Valéry in La Traviata, in Pfaffstättner Hof-Oper's inaugural opera performance of the newly formed summer festival. 



In Australia Bryony has worked with many prominent organisations appearing regularly with the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra under the direction of Paul Dyer and the Manly-Warringah Orchestra under the direction of Carlos Alvarado.
