Abstract: We generalize the topological recursion of Eynard-Orantin (2007) to the family of spectral curves of Hitchin fibrations. A spectral curve in the topological recursion, which is defined to be a complex plane curve, is replaced with a generic curve in the cotangent bundle $T^{\ast }C$ of an arbitrary smooth base curve $C$. We then prove that these spectral curves are quantizable, using the new formalism. More precisely, we construct the canonical generators of the formal $hbar$-deformation family of $D$-modules over an arbitrary projective algebraic curve $C$ of genus greater than $1$, from the geometry of a prescribed family of smooth Hitchin spectral curves associated with the $SL(2,mathbbC)$-character variety of the fundamental group $p{i}_1(C)$. We show that the semi-classical limit through the WKB approximation of these $hbar$-deformed $D$-modules recovers the initial family of Hitchin spectral curves.
