landing-place
You can use it in a figurative sense. Anyway you can say simply aims, goals, purpose, ends

land-fall, point of debarkation
These are two expressions that mean "punti di approdo" (more or less--point of debarkation is actually the point at which you get off a ship, but its kind of similar).
However, I would completely re-write the phrase, using analogous English expressions, since these arty Italian ones don't really work in English.
If you want some suggestions on how to re-write the phrase, please include the whole phrase.

ultimate/final goals
IMHO you can use "guiding light" to translate "faro" and "ultimate/final goals" to translate "punti di approdo"
the speech intelligibility of opera singing (is / being) a ***guiding light*** whereas the legato, the phrasing and expressiveness are the ***ultimate goals***
