Die Kathrin, Op. 28, is a folk opera in three acts by Erich Wolfgang Korngold with a German libretto by Ernst Décsey. Die Kathrin was Korngold's final opera, and he began composition in 1933, while in the midst of re-orchestrating operettas by Johann Strauss Jr. and Leo Fall. Korngold completed the opera during the summer of 1937.
