In 1844, the novel was adapted by the French author Alexandre Dumas, best known in the English-speaking world as the writer of The Three Musketeers. It was Dumas' adaptation which formed the basis for the 1892 Russian ballet with music by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Many subsequent adaptations have been based more closely on the ballet than on Hoffmann's original story.
