The prison scenes could be lit with profiles with a gobo to represent the prison bars. A bit of shadow wouldn't go amiss if you have the stage size to do it on. A smoke machine might be usefully employed to create mood as well.
Presumably the fantasy scenes will involve bright Spanish costumes, reds and greens and oranges so you could light with rose and straws (always useful colours)
The final sequence is particularly dramatic and open white or steel blue in a profile spot on Aldonza and Cervantes with the rest of the stage dimmer might be effective.
