Born in Kashgar, the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, People's Republic of China, Dilber is an internationally acclaimed lyrical coloratura soprano, known as the "Philomela of China", in reference to the Athenian King Pandion I's daughter who, according to legend, turned into a nightingale.
In 1976, Dilber was admitted to the Xinjiang Songs and Dances Troupe through examination. In 1980, Dilber joined the Depart of Vocal Music and Operas in the Central Music Conservatory in Beijing. In 1984, still a student, she won a major award at the Finland International Opera Competition. In 1987, she finished her master's degree at the Conservatory. Dilber was then employed as a permanent recital singer by the Finland National Opera, as well as the Sweden Malmoe Opera. Dilber was the winner of the Birgit Nilsson Prize for 1997 and 1998. She is considered to be one of the best coloratura sopranos of her era, with critics praising her "unparalleled beauteous voice".
Dilber has a marvelous voice, which remains clear and powerful even at the highest register. She does not overdo ornamentation as a coloratura soprano usually does, and her music and techniques are considered to be in perfect balance.
她演唱过的角色包括：Amina，Leïla，Lakmé（这个角色的咏叹调唱段及其考验技巧，华人中目前只有迪里拜尔能将其完整的完成，另一位中国歌唱家（这里不指名)也曾尝试，效果非常失败），Norina，Adina，Marie，Lucia，Agelica，Sophie（包括Massenet: 的Werther里的，以及Strauss R的 Der Rosenkavalier里的），Despina，Zerlina，Blondchen，Köning der Nacht，Lauretta，Le Feu, Le Rossignol, La Princesse，Rosina，Zerbinetta（泽比内塔这个公认的考验花腔女高技术难度极限之一的角色，在华人中除了迪里拜尔还无人能唱。欧美一大批女高也已将其唱砸。而虽然不能说迪里拜尔完成的很完美，但放眼这个角色的演唱历史已经很出色），Rossignol，Oscar，Nanetta ，Gilda。
