I ngā tau tōmua o te rautau 1900 ka hanga a Pererika Pēneti i tōna koaea ki Ōhinemutu hei whakangahau i ngā tūruhi. I te tau 1915 ka mōhiotia tēnei kapa ko te Kamupene Ōpera Māori. Nā rātou i whakaari a Hinemoa, nā Percy Flynn i tito. He Māori katoa ngā kaiwhakaari 40 te maha. Ko ētahi o ngā kākahu he kahu waero tonu. E ai ki te niupepa o Wanganui Chronicle, ‘kāore anō te ao kia kite i te kaiwhakaari Māori, e hoa mā, hei whiwhinga nui tēnei mā te ao whare tapere’.
