Buratto will be joined by tenor Brian Jagde as Pinkerton, mezzo-soprano Elizabeth DeShong as Suzuki, and baritone David Bizic as the American consul Sharpless. Conductor Alexander Soddy leads the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and Chorus.

The opera will be broadcast on April 22 and 30, 2022 on Met Opera Radio on SiriusXM Channel 355 and April 30, 2022on the Toll Brothers–Metropolitan Opera International Radio Network.
