Alfredo Catalani (19 June 1854 – 7 August 1893) was an Italian operatic composer.He is best remembered for his operas Loreley (1890) and La Wally (1892).
La Wally was composed to a libretto by Luigi Illica, and features Catalani's most famous aria "Ebben?Ne andrò lontana." This aria, sung by American soprano Wilhelmenia Fernandez, was at the heart of Jean-Jacques Beineix's 1981 film Diva.
Catalani's other operas were much less successful.
