Rim Rakhimov, 27, was left for dead at the end of May by drunken louts who stabbed him as he went to the aid of a girl they were molesting in a public park. A soloist in the Bashkir State Opera and Ballet Theatre, he was rushed to hospital and placed in a medically induced coma. There were fears for his survival and his career.

Happily, Rim has made a full recovery and is back in rehearsal, we hear, for The Merry Widow.
