Founded under the motto "Light Opera in the Grand Opera manner" in 1938 by impresario Edwin Lester, the organization presented fifty seasons of theatre before closing due to financial reasons in 1987.  Typically the LACLO presented four to six productions during an annual season.  The company produced or co-produced several of their own shows in addition to bringing in shows from Broadway to California, often with their original casts.  Productions that originated at the LACLO and then went on to wider success, included "Song of Norway" (1944), "Magdalena" (1948), "Kismet" (1953), "Peter Pan" (1954) and "Gigi" (1973).  Initially the organization mainly presented American operettas, but by the 1960s the company was presenting mostly musical theatre; although the company never completely left its roots. "Magdalena" premiered at the Los Angeles Civic Light Opera on 26 July 1948, pursuant to a commission from Edwin Lester, president of that organization.  Arthur Kay conducted Irra Petina, Dorothy Sarnoff, John Raitt, Hugo Haas, Gerhard Pechner, A. Garcia, Melva Niles, Henry Reese, Ferdinand Hilt, J.

The same production opened in New York City at the Ziegfeld Theatre on September 20, 1948, and closed on December 4 after 88 performances.  Raitt, Sarnoff, and Haas reprised their roles.  No recording was made due to a strike.  "Magdalena" was revived in concert form under conductor Evans Haile on November 24, 1987, at Alice Tully Hall in New York's Lincoln Center; a recording with a slightly different cast was made in RCA's studios in 1988 and issued by CBS (later Sony) in 1989 (ASIN: B0000026QF).  The work was performed in Australia in the 1990s as part of the Opera Festival in Ballarat, Victoria, again under Haile.
