She was the daughter of the singer, actress and dancer Magdalena Brochard Marchand and Theobald Hilary Marchand, director of the National Theatre of Mannheim. Margarethe studied music and composition in Munich with Franziska Lebrun and in Salzburg with Leopold Mozart. She apprenticed in supporting roles and debuted in 1787 at the age of 12 at the Mannheim Court Theater, performing the title role in 'The Youth' by Johann Jakob Engel. In 1790, she married conductor and composer Franz Danzi, and performed with him as prima donna of the troupe Domenico Guardasoni on European concert tours. After 1796, Margaret also performed as prima donna at the Munich Court Theatre. She died in Munich of pulmonary disease.
