A lyric-dramatic soprano with vocal agility, Lucia Aliberti was awarded a diploma with special recognition from the Conservatory while still very young. She studied with Luigi Ricci in Rome, with Herbert von Karajan and Alfredo Kraus. She is considered one of the most complete artists of her generation.

Musician and composer, while studying singing, she was also studying the piano and other musical instruments (guitar, accordion, violin, mandolin). She has composed many pieces for piano, clarinet, flute and voice.

After winning the Spoleto and ENAL competitions, she began her artistic career as Amina in Bellinis "La Sonnambula" in Spoleto at the festival dei Due Mondi under the direction of Giancarlo Menotti. She sings at the world's major theaters: The Metropolitan Opera in New York, Washington Opera, Royal Opera House Covent Garden in London, Scala in Milan, Deutsche Oper Berlin, Bayerische Staatsoper Munich, Hamburg Staatsoper, Staatstheater Stuttgart, Vienna State Opera, Opera House Zurich, Bolshoi in Moscow, Royal Opera Stockholm, Opera Rome, Teatro San Carlo in Naples, Teatro Bellini in Catania, Teatro Real in Madrid, Nederlandse Opera in Amsterdam, Theatre de la Monnaie in Brussels and Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires.

She is invited to international galas from UNESCO and UNICEF, sang for Pope Johannes Paul II. at the Vatican, Queen Sirikit of Thailand in Bangkok, Prince Charles of England, German President Horst Köhler and Prince Hiro of Japan.

Her natural vocal talents are enhanced by a technique which allows her to sustain even the most difficult parts in the "Belcanto"-repertory.

International critics have also underlined her particular stage presence and dramatic capabilities. She is considered a specialist in the repertory of Bellini (Norma, La Sonnambula, Il Pirata, I Puritani, I Capuleti e I Montecchi, Beatrice di Tenda, La Straniera). She has also dedicated intense studies to some of his manuscripts.

The other most important composers in her repertory are Donizetti (Lucia di Lammermoor, Anna Bolena, Lucrezia Borgia, L' elisir d'amore, Don Pasquale, Linda di Chamounix), Rossini (Semiramide, Tancredi, Stabat Mater), und Verdi (La Traviata, Rigoletto, Luisa Miller).
