In 1997 she produced and performed in "Images” a production which included an eclectic mélange of music and poetry, featuring arias by G.Handel, W. Gluck and G. Bizet, songs by B. Brecht and Jaroslaw Abramow Newerly as well as interpretations of songs from the repertoire of E.Piaf, M.Dietrich and Hanka Ordonowna.
“Images” - was an interestingly scripted and staged show, highlighting the ease at which Margaret travels from one genre to the next showing her talents and tapestry of stage images. She moves through this repertory with the charisma and kind of “edge” necessary for these styles.
The concert represented a fusion of cultures, styles, genres, and languages.
