Adolphe Appia made many contributions to modern theatre direction. He authored some, although not many, theatre productions, and wrote books and studies. He drew his own sketches of what the productions he would make would be like. He focused especially on Richard Wagner’s musical dramas and theoretically proposed how the so-called Wagnerian drama (a term that he used as an equivalent of Wagner’s Wort-Tondrama) should be staged. The present study recapitulates his fundamental ideas about music, stage space, painting, light, actors and directors. Later Appia collaborated with Émile Jaques-Dalcroze and synthesized his knowledge in the book entitled The Work of Living Art. It is best expressed by a quote from Friedrich Schiller: “When music reaches its most sublime effect, it becomes a shape in space.”
