She continued her studies at the Nezhdanova Musical Academy in Odessa in the vocal studies class of the distinguished pedagogue - Alisa Dzhamogortsyan (presently a singer at the Odessa Opera House), In Odessa, Margarita sang at the Odessa Opera Studio the role of Zemfira in Rachmaninov's Aleko, Tatiana in Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin, Janetta in Donizetti's L'Elixor d'Amor and others. Following her graduation from the Odessa Music Academy she was engaged by the Vinnitsa Opera Theatre in the Ukraine. Margarita, during her years at Musical Theatre of Sadovsky, was offered many engagements at opera companies throughout the Ukraine and many concert engagements in various repertoires from Caccini in Italian to Richard Strauss. In an exceptionally wide range, she sang concert recitals of Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky romances and ballads with lesser-known works by Dargomyszhky and Varlamov and also Western composers: Handel, Mozart, Pergolesi and Dvorak. A lighter aspect to some of her many sides are her offerings of operetta and American show songs and traditional Russian and Ukrainian folk songs.
