The libretto for "The Nutcracker" was adapted from the classic story "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King" by E. T. A. Hoffmann. It premiered at the Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg on December 18, 1892–118 years, to the day, before the Dancing Arts Center performance–on a double-bill with Tchaikovsky's opera, "Iolanta."
