This morning, I have received in the mail the programme book published by the Deutsche Oper Berlin for the world première performance of Andrea Lorenzo Scartazzini's opera Edward II. on February 19, 2017.
It is a 72 pages book. It contains :

-Überlagerungen, by Dorothea Hartmann ;
- Menschenjagd, by Walter Sofsky ;
- Absetzung und Tyrannenmord, by Kristin Marek ;
- Anpassungsstörungen, by Yvonne Gebauer ;

- color photos of the piano dress rehearsal on February 9 (by Monika Rittershaus) ;
- various texts by Thomas Bernhard, Wolfgang Sofsky ;
- numerous illustrations : director's sketches, composer's handwritten sketches, drawings by Marko Velk.
There is a separate 4 pages booklet with complete cast and crew and biographies of conductor and singers.
I now have 447 programme books for contemporary operas. All scanned covers are in this flickr folder (more to come soon).
