One of the ballets is missing a "t".

Nice quiz, but they are some mistakes:

Tchaikovsky didn't actually wrote an overture in 1812.

The Nutcracker, is misspelt

Good catch! Corrected Nutcracker. As for the overture, I changed the hint a little to make clear that 1812 was when the event happened, rather than when the piece was written.
