During the last decade, the understanding of fine features of the structure and evolution of stars has become possible as a result of enormous progress made in the acquisition of high-quality observational and experimental data and of new developments and refinements in the theoretical description of stellar plasmas. The confrontation of high-quality observations with sophisticated stellar models has allowed many aspects of the theory to be validated, and several characteristics of stars relevant to Galactic evolution and cosmology to be inferred. This paper is a review of the results of recent studies undertaken in the context of the Hipparcos mission, taking benefit of the high-quality astrometric data it has provided. Successes are discussed, as well as the problems that have arisen and suggestions proposed to solve them. Future observational and theoretical developments expected and required in the field are also presented.
