Softcover. Condition: Very Good +. AUSTRALIANA Biography Music - Eugene Aynsley GoossensGoossens spent nine years in Australia, from 1947 to 1956. There, he enthusiastically lobbied for a new major performing arts theatre, which ultimately led to the creation of theÂSydney Opera House.He conducted theÂSydney Symphony OrchestraÂand other groups, and was the director of theÂNSW State Conservatorium of Music. He held these positions concurrently until March 1956, when he was forced to resign after a major public scandal, only a year after beingÂknighted.In the early 1950s, Goossens metÂRosaleen Norton, the so-called "WitchÂofÂKings Cross". Norton was known as an artist of the grotesque and for her interest in theÂoccultÂandÂerotica, which Goossens secretly shared. They conducted an intense affair, exchanging a number of passionate letters; although Goossens asked Norton to destroy all of them, she kept a bundle hidden behind a sofa.In early 1956, Goossens visited Europe, unaware thatÂSydneyÂpolice were already in possession of his letters to Norton and photographs of her occult activities, which had been stolen from her flat byÂSydneyÂSunÂreporter Joe Morris, who had infiltrated her supposed "coven". When Goossens returned to Australia on 9 March 1956, he was detained atÂSydney Airport, following a tip-off by informants in London; his bags were searched by Customs officials, who found a large amount of what was then consideredÂpornographicÂmaterial, which included photographs, prints, books, a spool of film, some rubber masks, and sticks of incense.Although he was not immediately arrested or charged, Goossens naively agreed to attend a police interview a few days later, where he was confronted with photographs of Norton's "ceremonies" and his letters. Faced with the evidence of his affair with Norton â" which left him open to the serious charge of "scandalous conduct" â" Goossens was forced to plead guilty to the pornography charges. He paid a fine of £100; more significantly, the scandal ruined his reputation and forced him to resign from his positions. He returned to England in disgrace.The scandal was the basis of a novel,ÂPaganÂ(1990), by Inez Baranay; it also inspired a play,ÂThe Devil is a Woman, byÂLouis NowraÂand an opera,ÂEugene & Roie, by Drew Crawford. The scandal is documented in the filmÂThe Fall of the House, directed by Geoff Burton. 280 p. : ill., ports. ; 24 cm. #270424/171225 Sydney Opera House -- Anecdotes Performing arts -- New South Wales -- Sydney -- Anecdotes Entertainers -- New South Wales -- Sydney -- Anecdotes (Name on inside cover) Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.
