Margeretta Schwartz was one of the first distinguished female
performers in Yiddish theater. She and her sister Annetta shared prima
donna duties in Abraham Goldfaden's troupe in Romania beginning in
1877. Jacob Adler described the sisters as "absolutely respectable"
women with classical training as singers. He also writes that when
they performed in Odessa, Ukraine in the late 1870s, they had Paris
dresses of a quality that had never been seen in that city.
