L'olimpiade is an operatic libretto by Pietro Metastasio It was first set to music by Antonio Caldara and the opera premiered in Vienna on 30 August 1733.[2] The two more versions that immediately followed are the ones a modern listener might be most familiar with: Antonio Vivaldi's L'olimpiade as well as Giovanni Battista Pergolesi's.
Subsequently, L'olimpiade was set to music more than 60 times - the last noted one being an unfinished project by Gaetano Donizetti.[3] When Mozart wrote his concert aria KV512 "Alcandro, Io confesso ... Non sò d'onde viene" in 1787, using Clisthene's Aria from Act III Scene VI, he could count on his audience's familiarity with the topic.[4]
