Harold Holt (1885-1953), England’s leading theatrical impresario in the 1930s and the son of a Jewish diamond merchant from Kimberley, South Africa, managed many of the best-known names in classical music, including Dame Nellie Melba, Yehudi Menuhin, Sergei Rachmaninoff and Paul Robeson. He teamed up with Lionel Powell (†1931) in 1924, Powell having previously been a partner in the agency originally formed by Alfred Schulz-Curtius (1853-1918) to promote the music of Richard Wagner. The partnership was not long-lived, being dissolved by mutual consent on 31 July 1927. After Powell’s death Holt was the pre-eminent concert promoter in his field. Described as easy to work with but not a sufferer of fools, Holt had an infamous run-in with the Italian actor and operatic tenor Enrico Caruso Jr, then based in California, who refused an offer of $36,000 for ten appearances in London
