There are a few clips of French singers from the 1900s that appear to have sound synchronised, eg https://youtu.be/KaOHIUGZCdw?si=c5NC5RcoKvAoxy1c
The singer appears about 10 seconds in.
Here’s another from 1905

When I was a boy in Chicago we would visit the Museum of Science and Industry and in the basement they have a turn of the century Victorian American town and there is a silent movie theatre with a piano playing system as the show starts. very small and very authentic.
