Porgy & Bess in Museumsquartier

Vienna's orphaned jazz club, Porgy & Bess, have moved into the present shambles that is the Museumsquartier, Vienna's answer to the Pompidou Centre which is due to open in a year's time. To coincide with Kunsthalle's exhibition of Lisette Model's stupendous photographs of the bebop era, the club have put together a series of sessions involving local musicians paying tribute to the artists immortalised in Model's work. In August these will feature Coleman Hawkins, Duke Ellington and Hank Mobley and the ticket price includes a visit to the exhibition.

Noises Off

Unusually for the metroplis, this is a stage production which runs for more than two nights. Spring-time Stage Productions presents a Cantonese version of Micharl Frayn's classic farce. Veteran composer and comedian James Wong and leading actress Lo Koon-lan star in probably the biggest local theatre production of the year.

Illusions of Eden: Art from the American Midwest

The Museum of Modern Art welcomes a splendid itinerant exhibition of painting, prints and photography from the American Midwest between the world wars, juxtaposed with four installations by contemporary Midwestern artists. The latter focus on concepts associated with this quintessential part of the States - home, garden, journey, word and work - all of which contextualize the work of great midwestern painters such as Grant Wood whose famous canvas 'American Gothic' (1930) is among the work on show. Rarely have these historical views of the American heartlands been seen together.

Godzilla Exhibition

The nation's favourite city-stomping movie monster turns up at a theme park known for its collection of 1/25 scale models of world architectural masterpieces. A little risky, perhaps, given the giant lizard's appetite for destruction when it comes to big-screen Tokyo landmarks. On the plus side, the main Godzilla attraction here is an indoor exhibition featuring classic props, including a 3-metre-high head. Also planned, however, is a thrice-daily 'performance' (May 3-Jul 5; 10am, 12.30 & 3pm). Could be asking for trouble...

Forest of Stone

The Frederic Marès Museum is known for the vast and eccentric collection of its founder, a man who maniacally collected oddities and treasures from around the world. In this exhibition, the more than 40 stone capitals on view form one of the best groups in the world. The capitals date from the 9th to the 14th-century and include the highly refined stone work of the Arabic world as well as masterly products of the Romanesque and Gothic.
