Alterio's theatre debut came in 1948 as the lead in Cómo suicidarse en primavera ("How to commit suicide in spring"). After finishing drama school, he created the Nuevo Teatro ("New Theatre") company in 1950, where he worked until 1968 and helped change the Argentine theatrical scene of the 1960s.

He also worked in the Argentine cinema. His debut on the silver screen took place in Alfredo Mathé's Todo sol es amargo (Every sun is bitter) in 1965. He then participated in many of the most important Argentine movies of the 1970s, including La Patagonia rebelde (The Rebel Patagonia), which was awarded a Silver Bear at the 24th Berlin International Film Festival.[2] His voice was used in Ya es tiempo de violencia (1969), an anonymous film about the Cordobazo riots which took place the same year. The film was produced by Enrique Juárez, close to the Grupo Cine Liberación.

While in Spain in 1975, he received death threats from the Argentine Anticommunist Alliance. He decided not to return to Argentina and remained in exile.

Consequently, Alterio began to work in Spanish films, including A un dios desconocido (1977) and received the Best Actor award at the Donostia-San Sebastián International Film Festival, and El nido (1980), and for his effort received the Best Actor award from the Association of Latin Entertainment Critics in 1983.

After the restoration of democracy in Argentina in 1982, Alterio worked in films produced in both countries and some co-productions.

In 2004 he received an Honorary Goya Award for his lifetime body of works.

El alma desnuda es el título de este precioso recital donde María Galiana interpreta textos de los autores que más le han marcado en su trayectoria vital como Jorge Manrique, Amado Nervo, Santa Teresa de Jesús, Benedetti, Machado y León Felipe acompañada al piano por José María Berdejo y alternando con la maravillosa voz de Luis Santana.

Este proyecto es la culminación de un deseo personal por interpretar una selección de textos que no tienen un denominador común, sin embargo resaltan la manifestación de unos sentimientos compartidos entre los autores y la intérprete, coincidencias que existen debido a la implicación emocional de María Galiana con el espectáculo.
