Like you, I'm incredulous! I suppose that it could have been done with
a powerful oil lamp and a spherical bottle of water, which makes a
primitive lens. I don't think that that most primitive of follow-spots,
the limelight had been invented then. Apart from that, directional
sources were not really available until the early twentieth century,
when Adolphe Appia used them. Before that, stage lighting was all flat
washes, with the detail and perspectives painted on the scenery, which
can be very effective.
