In 2017 Brooke completed her first opera, based on the short story "The Monkey's Paw" which premiered in Los Angeles with Pacific Opera Project. 

​

She was commissioned to write an orchestral reduction for Rossini's La gazzetta which included re-creating and re-composing the famous "Lost Quintet". Brooke conducted her own orchestral reduction for Pacific Opera Project in June and July of 2018.

​

Immediately following, she conducted the orchestra for Snoop Dogg's forthcoming album.

​

Her next operetta, "Gunfight at the Not-So-OK Saloon" premiered in 2019 as part of the Hollywood Fringe Festival. The show was wildly popular and sold out it's entire run, leading it to garner the awards, "Pick of the Fringe", and the "Encore Producer's Award". "Gunfight" also went on to be featured at Rockwell Table and Stage with the Foundation for New Musicals. Later, Brooke was awarded the "John Raitt Award for Best Music and Lyrics" as part of the Robbie Awards, beating out "Anastasia", "Salvage" and "Indecent".

 

Her opera opera "Alice in Wonderland" is currently in development with Creative OPERAtions, and is looking forward to performances in both Los Angeles and New York.

She participated in the Los Angeles Film Conducting Intensive in January 2020, conducting everything from Elgar's "Enigma Variations" to John Williams' "Star Wars Main Theme." The program culminated with her conducting her own work, "Public Enemy" with a 67-piece orchestra at Eastwood Scoring Stage at Warner Bros.

​

Also in 2020, Brooke was commissioned by Los Angeles Opera to write "Songs of Orpheus"; art songs based on poetry of local Los Angeles veterans and worked in conjunction with two groups, "Mindful Warrior" and "Returning Soldiers Speak".  "Songs of Orpheus" premiered in February 2020 at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, and Brooke's music from this program was featured on soprano Renee Fleming's Music and the Mind.

​

Brooke worked with LA Opera again in 2021, setting more poetry by the Mindful Veteran project. She is currently working on two projects for LA Opera.
