My Secret Passion: The Arias is the first classical album by Michael Bolton featuring the Philharmonia Orchestra under the direction of Steven Mercurio. The album includes a duet with Renée Fleming.

Due to both a lack of substantial promotion and criticism that Bolton lacked the range to perform opera,[citation needed] the album peaked on the Billboard Top 200 at No. 112, marking the end of a period of chart success for Bolton.
