The story revolves around Desiderio, who as a young man sets out to assassinate Dr. Hoffman, a genius waging war against an unnamed city by means of hallucinations or dreams produced with the "eroto-energy" of 50 copulating couples in his Wagnerian mountain castle.
In many ways, I think Dr. Hoffman is a mix of ETA Hoffman and William Burroughs.
Hoffman contributes the gothic surreality and Burroughs contributes the theme of escaping.

Offenbach died in 1880, but the work -- which focuses on the German writer ETA Hoffman and his tragic quest for love -- saw its posthumous premiere at the Opera-Comique in the French capital the following year.
Most music historians believed the original score had been lost in a fire at the Opera-Comique in May 1887, but it would seem that a copy of the manuscript was retrieved from the burning building.
A case of suspected fraud at the Paris opera library forced the company to reorganize its archives, a process that helped uncover the lost manuscript, management said.

 Romanticism in the Pastoral Symphony
The precise one word title of the fourth movement 'Gewitter - Storm' is a thoroughly Romantic notion, a section devoted to a novel and imaginative presentation of the feel and to some extent the sound of a thunder storm.
The fourth movement is however the closest to 'tone painting' of the five movements, not least in certain thematic ideas.
What is significant in Hoffman's remark is that he regards at least some of his readers as having lost touch with country life.

E.T.A Hoffmann manages to blend, with overpowering skill and boldness, fantasy, wittiness, irony, sharp political criticism and lyricism, giving to the cultivated reader an endless cornucopia of sophisticated, intelligent gladness.
I learned about ETA Hoffman by reading some articles he had written on Mozart and Beethoven (the A in is name is for Amadeus, he idolized Mozart).
Although markedly less frightening than many of his short stories (such as the Sandman), this book is nevertheless exciting as well as thought provoking (Hoffman makes about 400 references to the literature and music of the his time and before).

 Palestrina and the German Romantic imagination Musical Times - Find Articles
In Germany around 1810 the ideals which had been forced on to his style throughout Europe for 200 years began to intensify as the surrounding cultural landscape generated a kind of covet repulsion.
Having stood for a remote, pedagogic perfection Palestrina's music now came to represent a 'lofty, inimitable simplicity and dignity' (ETA Hoffman) which had become of vital interest to many people as an antidote to the modern world.
Slowly the pieces which most interested them (which, contrary to our preferences, were the more homophonic ones, heard as simplicity at its most explicit) came to be performed and published, culminating in the first complete edition of his music, issued by Breitkopf and Hartel from 1862.

Out too went the confusions and vague Freudianisms that bedeviled choreographers from Hoffman’s deeply political, opium-tinged and convoluted original.
In came visual logic, seamless story, vivid location, and a vision of girlhood transformation abetted by an older male mentor that manages to be both idyllic and honest.

The story is an adaptation of “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King,” written by ETA Hoffman and published in 1819.
