Die Jakobsleiter
Die Jakobsleiter ("Jacob's Ladder") is an oratorio by Arnold Schoenberg that marks his transition from a contextual or free atonality to the twelve-tone technique anticipated in the oratorio's use of hexachords. Though ultimately unfinished by Schoenberg the piece was prepared for performance by Schoenberg student Winfried Zillig at the request of Gertrude Schoenberg.
Schoenberg began the libretto in 1914-15, published it in 1917, and began the music in 1915, finishing most of his work on it in 1926, and finished
at the San Francisco Opera, the Deutsche Oper Berlin and the Zürich Opera. He is focused on contemporary music, in opera and also in concert.
Boder made his debut at the Vienna State Opera on 15 December 1995, conducting Alban Berg's "Wozzeck". He conducted there also "Elektra", 
"Die Frau ohne Schatten" and "Ariadne auf Naxos", all by Richard Strauss, Schönberg's "Die Jakobsleiter", Puccini's "Gianni Schicchi", Berg's "Lulu", Wagner
