For thirteen years, Alberti was a lecturer at
Teachers College, Columbia University. and the director of the Young People's Theater in
Carnegie Hall,
New York City. The greatest novelty of the plans for the Young People's Theater carried out by Alberti was the presentation of complete grand opera in mime with appropriate instrumental music. The Alberti Pantomimes, it was claimed, used a more universal code of gesticulation than the French, Italian, or German. American pantomime, such as that developed under the hand of Alberti, became a finer art than that represented by the
garish musical Christmas pantomimes of Britain, the distinction includes less cross-dressing, risque jokes and greater individual quality, in daintiness of movement, and delicacy of facial expression. She made a speciality of Greek sacred dances. ==Personal life==
