A semiclassical theory is developed for billiards with energy-dependent mixed boundary conditions. Explicit expressions are derived for the smooth and oscillatory parts of the level density. The parametric dependence of the spectrum on the boundary conditions provides us a very useful tool in analyzing the classical and quantum correspondence in billiard systems. This is illustrated in the numerical analysis of the spectrum of the stadium billiard that has mixed boundary conditions on the circular parts.
