Well, Joseph hasn't been his only source of income. I'm always amazed by the people not realizing that Mozart, similar to Shakepeare by the way, wrote mass entertainment. Some of his operas have been premiered at his friend's Schikaneders theatre.
Also something which is addressed in the film, actually! The contrast between the high courts and the somewhat vulgar theatre crowd is made very clear.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
