I bogens kolofon står anført: ""The Story of Kay and Gerda", an opera by Sergei Banevich, was written in 1979 based on the tale "The Snow Queen" by Hans Christian Andersen. Libretto to the opera was written by Tatiana Kalinina. The world premiere took place on the stage of the S. M. Kirov State Academic Theatre of Opera and Ballet (nowadays Mariinsky Theatre), in 1980. In 2009, the composer has created a new edition of the opera that was performed by the troupe of the Mariinsky Theatre in 2016. "The Story of Kay and Gerda" was staged at the State Academic Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow, in many other opera theatres in Russia and abroad, where the opera is always warmly greeted and receives recognition from the public. "The Story of Kay and Gerda" can be rightfully considered as a classical composition of the world opera repertoire, intended for youth."
