The spectral properties of the classical orthogonal polynomials of one and several variables have deep connections with the representation theory of Lie algebras and quantum superintegrable systems. Over the years, these connections have played a crucial role in the discovery of fundamental results with numerous applications in mathematics and physics. I will discuss recent results in a joint work with Yuan Xu relating spectral properties of discrete orthogonal polynomials to superintegrability.
