Story
Der Student Nathanael berichtet von einer unheimlichen Begegnung: In dem Wetterglashändler Coppola glaubt er den Advokaten Coppelius, die Schreckensgestalt seiner Kindheit, wiedererkannt zu haben. Dieser hatte seinen Vater regelmäßig besucht und zu alchemistischen Experimenten verführt. Bis heute macht Nathanael ihn für den Tod des Vaters verantwortlich. Von seinem Kindheitstrauma eingeholt fällt es Nathanael zusehends schwerer, zwischen Wahn und Wirklichkeit zu unterscheiden und so bleibt ihm am Ende nur die Flucht in den Freitod.

Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann (1776-1822), noto con lo pseudonimo di E. T. A. Hoffmann, fu il primo scrittore a mettere su carta la storia dello schiaccianoci, oggetto molto in voga nell’Ottocento e che faceva bella mostra di sé nei mercatini di Natale di tutta la Germania.Il racconto dell’autore tedesco (che fu inoltre pittore, compositore e giurista) venne pubblicato nel 1816 e ispirò anche la versione di Alexandre Dumas, dalla quale Tchaïkovski trarrà uno dei balletti più famosi di tutti i tempi.I piccoli protagonisti della favola sono Marie e Fritz, due bambini in trepidante attesa dei doni di Natale.
