It appears on the following album: | The ''sojetto'' was immensely popular; the first composer who set Metastasio's words to music was Caldara's in 1733; Vivaldi followed shortly after, in 1734.

Bernasconi's ''L'Olimpiade'' was written and performed in 1764. It is easy to hear that the times have changed since Vivaldi while some things always remain the same. | |||

Andrea Bernasconi - Olimpiade - German title page of the libretto - München 1764[1] | |
| English | The Olimpiad |
| Genre | Opera |
| Libretto | Pietro Metastasio |
| Premiere | |
| Date | January 20, 1764 |
| Location | München, Hoftheater[2] |
"Siam navi all'onde algenti" is an aria from the opera L'Olimpiade (Engl.: The Olympiad) by Andrea Bernasconi. The author of the libretto is Pietro Metastasio.
The libretto indicates Sebastiano Emiliani as the singer of the role of Aminta.
The sojetto was immensely popular; the first composer who set Metastasio's words to music was Caldara's in 1733; Vivaldi followed shortly after, in 1734. His is undoubtedly the most popular, especially since the Siam navi all'onde algenti has famously and spectacularly been sung by Cecilia Bartoli.
Bernasconi's L'Olimpiade was written and performed in 1764. It is easy to hear that the times have changed since Vivaldi while some things always remain the same.
Bernasconi's Siam navi all'onde algenti appears on the following album:
