Russian conductor, choirmaster and violinist (b. 15/27 May 1846 in Yekaterinoslav [now Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine]; d. 17 February 1919 in [[Moscow]]), born '''''Ippolit Karlovich Altani''''' (Ипполит Карлович Альтани).

A contemporary of Tchaikovsky at the [[Saint Petersburg]] Conservatory, he was taught by Henryk Wienawski, [[Nikolay Zaremba]] and [[Anton Rubinstein]], graduating in 1866. He then secured a position as choirmaster and conductor at the Russian Opera in [[Kiev]] (1867–1881), before becoming principal conductor at the Bolshoi Theatre in [[Moscow]] (1882–1906).

Altani premiered many of Tchaikovsky's works, including the festival overture ''[[The Year 1812]]'' (1882) and the [[Elegy]] for string orchestra (1884). He also conducted the first performances at the Bolshoi Theatre of the operas ''[[Mazepa]]'' (1884), ''[[The Enchantress]]'' (1890), ''[[The Queen of Spades]]'' (1891) and ''[[Iolanta]]'' (1893). Altani also assisted Tchaikovsky with preparations to conduct ''[[Cherevichki]]'' at the Bolshoi Theatre in 1887.
