We present the highlights of current observational programs in stellar optical spectroscopy carried out with 8-10 m class telescopes as well as with smaller telescopes. Topics discussed include: 1. light elements abundances and their cosmological implications; 2. search for Population III stars and spectroscopy of extremely metal deficient stars; 3. abundances of different stellar populations in the Galaxy; 4. spectroscopy of resolved stars in Local Group galaxies; 5. Li and Be abundances and internal mixing in stars; 6. spectroscopy of very-low mass stars and brown dwarfs; 7. radial velocity search of extrasolar planets; 8. stellar oscillations and asteroseismology; 9. stellar magnetic activity and Doppler imaging of stellar surface features. We also highlight the role that dedicated 1-2 m automatic telescopes with spectroscopic capabilities can play in several fields of stellar optical spectroscopy.
