When major figures in opera die, the Metropolitan Opera sometimes pays tribute to them with memorials at the opera house. Among those honored there over the years have been the composer Giacomo Puccini and the singers Enrico Caruso, Luciano Pavarotti and Beverly Sills.

Now the majestic soprano Jessye Norman is joining their select ranks.

A memorial for Ms. Norman, who died Sept. 30 at 74, will be held at the Met on Nov. 24, the company said. It will feature performances, remarks and video highlights of her career. It will be free, and open to invited guests and members of the public.

“This has grown exponentially as we have been putting it together, which is fitting for a bigger-than-life-artist such as Jessye Norman,” Peter Gelb, the Met’s general manager, said.

The memorial will be held on the stage where Ms. Norman made her Met debut as Cassandre in Berlioz’s “Les Troyens” in 1983 on opening night of the company’s centennial season, and where she went on to sing more than 80 performances.
