Vivian Holt
Last updated: 08.08.25
All that can presently (October 2023) be gleaned about Vivian Holt from sheet music covers and by Internet searching is that she was presumably an American operatic soprano who has been featured on 10 works published between 1897 and 1925.She recorded more than a dozen duets with Lillian Rosedale in 1919 for Victor. Rosedale accompanied Holt as a pianist in two other recordings. Together they performed "a refined act of musical worth" in vaudeville in the 1910s and sang on radio in the 1930s.
Their portrait on the left is taken from That Naughty Waltz (1920) music by Sol P. Levy, words by Edwin Stanley and published by F.J.A. Forster Music Publisher, Chicago, Illinois, USA.
