My two sentences of today, using "brili".
La suno ne brilas ofte en Dublino. (The sun doesn't shine often in Dublin).
Ŝi brilis sur estrado. (She shone on stage)

Charlie:The vortaro gives 'estrado' as 'platform' or 'stage'Indeed it does. However, my copy of the CEED doesn't give the word "estrado" for either "stage" OR "platform" (and since the CEED doesn't go both ways, I can't look up the English translation of the word "estrado" in it).
However, since "estro" means "leader, boss, or chief", and the suffix "-ad" means (basically) the action of whatever is described by the root (the vortaro gives it's meaning as "-ation, -ing"), I would hazard that "leading" - in its noun sense, of course - is a better translation than "stage".
I think it better saying: Gxi brilis... (For animals and things = "gxi", isn´t it?
