In 1973, he was admitted to John Cranko's Ballet School in Stuttgart, one month before Cranko's death, and studied under Marcia Haydée.[2] Scholz also studied, on scholarship, at Balanchine's School of American Ballet in New York.[3] He graduated from Stuttgart in 1977, and joined the Stuttgart Ballet. At 26 he became the director of the Zürich Ballet,[4] and directed there for the next 6 years, before returning to Germany to become director of the Leipzig Ballet, where he was also chief choreographer.[1] He remained in Leipzig from 1991 until his death.[5] Among his most famous creations are Mozart's Great Mass, Pax Questuosa by Udo Zimmermann,[3] Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique, The Red and the Black by Stendhal, and much else.[6] In 1993 he was appointed professor at the University of Music and Theatre Leipzig. He was also a founding member of the Freie Akademie der Künste zu Leipzig [de] (Free Academy of Arts in Leipzig).[7]
