Where can I find old Catholic Hymns Online?

Hi. I'm looking for really old Catholic hymns, the kind that sound like their from the middle ages, song in Latin (possibly other languages), in the opera-like style. Can you help me find them online?

Here's a video that has exactly what I'm looking for:

The hymn is played towards the middle of the video only for a few seconds but I thought it was so beautiful.

Thanks.

I did a search for "catholic hymns" at cuil.com. The top two results were:

In my young adulthood, I was a studio and concert accompanist and operatic stage manager.

I hear nothing "opera-like" in the sound-track you gave.

bpbasil, did you listen to the part where there's singing about 2/3 through the video. i know its not really opera like, but that's the kind of singing i'm looking for.

Of course I did. Why else would I have said that it was not "opera-like"?
