Evenings in Leipzig--but not "night life"

Hello. I will be in Leipzig for 4 nights (first week of February). My days will be spent in training and all meals are provided (so restaurant suggestions are not required unless there is a place or a dish that is un-miss-able).





Any suggestions for things to do/see in the evenings? I don%26#39;t want to miss this opportunity to experience what I can of what appears to be a beautiful city.





I%26#39;m not interested in bars or the club scene.





Thanks in advance.

Some options:



Classical concerts in the Gewandhaus (www.gewandhaus.de)



or concerts in one of the churches (St. Nikolai, St. Thomas e.g.)



or attend an opera/ballet.





Do you speak German? If you do you might enjoy a night at the %26#39;Kabarett%26#39; (comedy theatre). There are several in the old town.





Beside that I%26#39;d recommend to have a look at the city from one of the high-rise buildings - like the former %26#39;wisdom-tooth%26#39; (next to the Gewandhaus) or the Westin hotel, both have excellent restaurants/bars on the top floor.





One day per week the art museum is open until 8 pm if I recall correctly, well worth a visit. And there%26#39;s still shopping until 8 pm. :-)

Thanks so much. We had a great time and checked in to your suggestions. Unfortunately our timing didn%26#39;t work out for any of the venues but those were great places for us to start looking and led to other fun activities.





I have collegues traveling to Leipzig this weekend and they are leaving with your great suggestions!
