Pinkerton, portrayed by Roberto Alagna. The story explores the cultural misunderstandings and devastating consequences when Pinkerton marries another woman, leading to Cio-Cio-San's heartbreaking suicide. Maria Zifchak appears as Cio-Cio-San’s devoted servant, Suzuki, and Dwayne Croft plays the American consul Sharpless, attempting to prevent the unfolding tragedy.
