Two icons of the music industry have met up in Christchurch for a night out before they appear separately on stage on Wednesday.

American actress and former wife of the late singer Elvis Presley, Priscilla Presley, was spotted in the central city last night with British pop singer Cliff Richard.

The pair dined at King of Snake, a riverside restaurant in the city centre.

Presley appeared at the Isaac Theatre Royal on Wednesday night for An Evening With Priscilla Presley: Life After Elvis, while Richard was on stage a short distance away at the Christchurch Town Hall.

Richard posted two photos of the pair in central Christchurch.

"Gosh, what opportunities in New Zealand," he said.

"This time I met up with Priscilla Presley in Christchurch, NZ.

"What a gorgeous evening spent together, I cherish those moments, they light up my life."
