    Abstract
    The article focuses on six staged operas of 1910s with national style. Topics discussed include operas with a theme of racial encounter such as "Natoma" by Victor Herbert, opera "Azora" by Henry Hadley showing the fall of Aztec empire of emperor Montezuma, picturization of Indians in American culture in all the operas, use of dramaturgy adopted from the Europeans for the characters of the opera and the libretto problem faced by the operas.
